Resumen de In situ preservation as a dynamic process: the example of Sutton Common, UK

R. van de Noort, Henry P. Chapman, James L. Cheetham

• In situ preservation is a complex and dynamic process, which requires an understanding of the nature and scale of the material to be preserved, an understanding of the context of the site in terms of managerial needs and a programme of scientific monitoring of changes within the burial environment. The example of a rural archaeological landscape in northeast England, which is undergoing a programme of hydrological management, is considered.
