The development of this handbook requires the collective skills, advice and experiences of a large number of archaeologists from a wide range of archaeological organizations, already too numerous to list here, but nevertheless their generous support and contributions are gratefully acknowledged.
As a start… (but subject to further acknowledgements of anyone missed out)
The authors would like to thank our Advisory Panel of Dr Edward Harris, Steve Roskams, Prof. Tim Williams, Barney Sloane, Prof. Doug Tudhope, Prof. Caitlin Buck, Dr Holly Wright, for their advice and critical insight, which has helped to inform this project from the outset.
We would sincerely like to thank all our focus group and workshop participants and various consultees, whose engagement and feedback was essential in drafting the text and other content for this Handbook, including but not only: Louise Fowler, Tom Wells, Dr Dave Gilbert, Dr Manda Forster, Dr Matt Edgeworth, Jay Carver, Reuben Thorpe, Dr Bryony Moody, Ceri Binding, Tom Cromwell, Kevin Woolridge, Rachel Cubitt, Dan Swift… etc, etc (this list to be amended as people provide inputs).
Particular thanks to Dr Alex Smith, Dr Claire Christie and Emma West at Headland Archaeology for their help with a number of our enquiries and especially for generously enabling our reuse of the MOLA-Headland guidance from the A14 project for illustration purposes.
Special thanks go to the team at Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA): Louise Fowler, Dr Sara Perry, David Bowsher, Julian Hill and all the XSM10 team, especially Al Telfer, Serena Ranieri and Rob Hartle, for so diligently archiving the outputs of their work in ways that enabled FAIR and Open play with their data.
We would also like to acknowledge the references to Frederike Hammer’s earlier work on post-excavation which was previously available online (link if available?).
