AE2.1 Explore and evaluate options for conserving the archaeological resource in situ
AE2.2 Define the risks of conserving the archaeological resource in situ
AE2.3 Recommend strategies for conserving the archaeological resource in situ
This unit is for archaeologists who are responsible for making assessments of the archaeological resource and recommending strategies for in situ conservation of landscapes, sites or structures. This is based on an agreed characterisation and significance of archaeological evidence. Understanding the character and significance of an archaeological resource allows due weight to be given to it in any situation threatening to damage or destroy it, whether by natural or human agency. An adequately informed understanding of the character and significance of archaeological evidence enables strategies for maintenance, repair or preservation to be devised, as appropriate to the situation that needs managing. It also enables the development of options that take account of the availability of resources and other practical considerations.
