assessments indicate any archaeological potential as far in advance of the programmed construction phase as possible.
60 Subsequent groundworks programmes would be built around these areas of high archaeological potential accordingly i.e. these areas would be stripped first in order to allow maximum time for preservation by record (archaeological excavation).
61 For any areas of identified archaeological significance, engineering methodologies would be employed in order to ensure sufficient time for the full excavation and recording of archaeological deposits to professionally accepted standards prior to installation of the haul road or excavation of the cable trench at any given location.
62 Flood plains, not suitable for testing through geophysical survey or trial trenching assessment methods, would be tested for palaeoenvironmental and archaeological potential under a separate methodology (see Part 1.9) comprising both pre- construction and construction-phase assessments.
63 Diagram 2 outlines the pre-construction and construction phases of the iterative and staged archaeological approach.
