	Area of archaeological potential - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Areas of Archaeological Potential and other terms such as Area of High Archaeological Potential or Urban Archaeological Zone are terms used to identify parts of the country where it is known that buried archaeology is likely to survive.
		Development in an area of archaeological potential is likely to require archaeological evaluation and possible mitigation work in advance of building commencing.
		The areas are selected through study of past excavation work and historical and academic sources including each county's Sites and Monuments Record.

		In addition to their scientific importance, archaeological remains sometimes have political significance to descendants of the people who produced them, monetary value to collectors, or simply strong aesthetic appeal.
		Archaeological excavation existed when the field was still the domain of amateurs, and it remains the source of the majority of data recovered in most field projects.
		During the 20th century, the development of urban archaeology and then rescue archaeology have been important factors, as has the development of archaeological science, which has greatly increased the amount of data that it is possible to obtain.

	Modelling Erosion and Archaeological Potential Using GIS
		Archaeological predictive modelling (APM) is defined as 'a technique, used to predict archaeological site locations in a region, on the basis of observed patterns, or, on assumptions about human behaviour' (Kamermans and Wansleeben 1999) The growth of this method in archaeology has been linked with the development of commercially available GIS packages.
		Areas of erosion potential are thus dependent on the amount of clay in the soil.
		Not surprisingly, the areas of high monitoring priority are on the western shores of the lakes, areas both of high archaeological potential and high erosion potential.

	North Petherton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The town boasts the minster church of St Mary the Virgin, with a highly decorated tower which, at 120 feet / 36m high, is claimed to be one of the tallest towers in the West Country.
		The building is mainly dated from the 15th century, with a minstrel gallery from 1623, a peel of six bells, and a clock built in Bridgwater in 1807.
		At the time of the Norman invasion the Hundred covered a large area corresponding, today, roughly to a north-south corridor along the M5 motorway from Junction 25 near Taunton, to north of Junction 23 at Stretcholt, and east-west from Athelney to Goathurst.

	Archaeological Survey of Area 9, Western Newfoundland - F & L Schwarz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Although these locations lie outside the proposed harvesting area, they are deemed to have high archaeological potential; the cabin location is in the only sheltered embayment on the southern shore of the pond and the other buffer zone is at the mouth of a small stream.
		Area 9 adjoins a small pond on a tributary of Southwest brook, some 30 km from the estuary of the St. Georges River, and is therefore in a type of setting which would generally be deemed to have high historic resources potential.
		Areas surveyed were generally along linear features such as the shoreline and the proposed logging road extensions, with one series of test pits on a hilltop.

		Much of the area is at, or only slightly above, sea level, so until it was drained in the 17th century it was a marsh that was frequently flooded by the sea, a problem that was not fully resolved until the Coastal defenses sea defences were enhanced at Bridgwater in the early 20th century.
		The area was settled by the Bronze Age, with the population supporting themselves largely by hunting and fishing in the surrounding marsh, living on artificial islands connected by wooden causeways on wooden piles.
		The area is an important feeding ground for birds including Bewick’s swan, curlew, redshank, skylark, snipe, teal, wigeon and whimbrel, as well as birds of prey including the marsh harrier and peregrine falcon.

		This area is the focus of the field survey because it is within the boundary of the Ngau Hom Shek Archaeological Site, and also because the coastal line is very close to the hillfoot and therefore most likely has maintained its original shape from the past.
		12.5.4 The coastal area at Ngau Hom Shek to the immediate west to the proposed SWC landing point is not accessible for archaeological survey at this stage but the possibility of identifying significant archaeological remains can-not be completely excluded, although the archaeological potential of this area is low.
		It is recommended therefore to conduct a further archaeological survey and, if necessary, to carry out a rescue excavation in the project area with earthworks and building works by the project proponent after land resumption and before the commencement of the construction works of the site.

	The medieval pottery and tile industry at Tyler Hill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Within the survey area the highest concentration of ceramic debris and wasters (reject pottery and tile) came from fields near the crossing point of the Sarre Penn stream and the Hackington Road at Tyler Hill.
		At the same time, it is hoped that some areas of archaeological importance may be protected so that archaeologists of the future, armed with more sophisticated techniques, might have their own opportunity to re-evaluate this important centre of medieval industry.

		It is clear that: firstly, the secondary context archaeological resource has a wealth of potential value; and secondly, for this value to be exploited fully requires the development of specific and appropriate methodologies.
		Assessing the potential for vertical re-working (based on the location of the assemblage, the preservation of associated deposits, and the regional solid geology) and recognising the problems inherent in the analysis of a heavily time-averaged assemblage.
		Modified frameworks and methodologies have therefore been proposed, and it is hoped that these clearly demonstrate the considerable potential of archaeological secondary contexts.
