Aim

• To understand the gaps between sensor reqponses, environmental variables and soil measurements
• Discuss building up the stats back end model #Topics
• CMD mini explorer
  • In theory measures resistivity and mag
  • Can compare this with the mag sus samples whjch were used as control
  • We would need to look at this
  • The theory is
    • The mag sus element of the ERT reading should not change
      • We have a control already
    • This means that we should be able to identify the conductivity variations as the seond component
      • These should be comparable to Dans data
    • THIS ALL NEEDS FUSING
• Publication holes
  • Morphological description from the sections
    • Grain size and organics
    • Geo-archaeology
    • Journal of field archaeology
    • This should become a position paper for a follow on grant
  • Correlation of the magnetometry surveys
    • Breakdown assumptions that measurements are down to 1m
    • We have this in diddington
  • Comparison of
    • Grain size
    • Magnetics
    • Compare mag variations in clay rich components both on and off site
      • This would need correction of organic
    • Get measurements from the same spatial location and undertake multivariate analysis
    • Understand 'natural' and then see how anthropogenic variations
    • If aggregation is required then we can average
    • Remember things can be very heavily skewed if ceramic fragments in the sample
      • Outliers may need removing
  • Comparison of archaeological and engineering soils
    • Unfortunately Birmingham undertake data aggregation before they publish
    • Need to get access to the underlying RAW data from Birmingham
    • Note: there is a difference between raw data and presentation synthesis
      • Birmingham want to synthesise data
  • Arrange a meeting with Chris G and ArminS when initial stats framework in place
• David Jordan
  • Throwing a whole load of techniques aimed at percolation modelling to see what sticks
• Project proposal
  • Permanent monitoring
    • Install permanent ERT sensor
      • Monitor for 14 months
      • £30k?
    • Excavate section
      • £3k
    • Record section
      • SfM
      • Multiple interpretations
      • write archaeological contractors into the project design to get this done as contribution in kind
        • Leave the hole open for a period of days
        • Allow the section to be cut back (if necessary)
      • include contexts
    • Take high resolution in-situ mag-sus (2-5)cm intervals)
      • £0k
    • Sample at very high resolution
      • £0.5k
    • Run analysis on monoliths
      • Particle size
      • Mag Sus
      • Organic content
      • £40k
    • Build section based on lab analyses
    • Publish
      • accuracy of the section and context recording
      • What degree of granularity required to capture full sequence

Things to do

• ARB
  • Start building up comparisons between recorded soil properties and lab soil properties
  • Matching the quantitative lab measurements to the qualitiative field descriptions
• Keith
  • See about picking up some samples for Cherry Copse ditch
• Chris/Rob
  • Host the Bartington magnetometry data
• Harnhill chery copse data
  • The reported profile in the lab measurements is wrong
  • They are reported as butting
  • However, on the section drawings they overlap
  • I think this is fixed in the data model
    • Check
