The Ploughzone
Author(s): Peter J. Reynolds
Year: 1982
Summary
In recent yeats the topsoil or ploughzone in the rural context has recevied increasing attention and today, because of the escalating costs of excavation and the dwindling resources provided for archaeology, that attention is being further intensified. Financial constraint, however, is not the only motivation. The results of aerial survey and organised field walking have shown that excavation can only examine a minimal percentage of the known sites, a percentage which rapidly decreases as modern surveys reveal more and more evidence.
