WHY IT MATTERS
On active construction sites, historic artefacts are frequently discovered only after groundworks begin. At that stage, context may already be lost through mechanical excavation, spoil stockpiling, or soil removal.
Early identification reduces reliance on chance discovery and supports better preservation outcomes, more informed planning decisions, and fewer reactive disruptions during construction.
