Archaeological Excavation Burlington House, Tariff Street, Piccadilly, Manchester
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The development area was undeveloped land on the fringe of Manchester until the late eighteenth century, when the Rochdale Canal was constructed. This took a route across the southern part of the site on its approach to the canal terminus at Piccadilly Basin, where several canal warehouses and numerous trans-shipment wharves had been established by the early nineteenth century. The first building within the boundary of the development site, however, was not erected until 1841 and comprised an L-shaped, two-storey warehouse and stable block. A canal wharf that was served by a series of cranes formed the western part of the site, and is likely to have been in use some time before the warehouse was built. A large section of the warehouse was demolished during the second quarter of the twentieth century, and width of the canal as it crossed the development area was reduced by infilling the northern part of the channel in the late 1960s. The surviving building was finally cleared in 1991, and the site was subject to public realm works in 2002. A single L-shaped open-area trench was placed across targeted locations, following the results obtained from the watching brief conducted in June 2015 that identified well preserved remains of the former canal basin wall, together with the foundations of a crane bases and original surfacing associated with a canal wharf. The open-area excavation expanded on these findings, whilst also revealing the foundations and internal surfacing of the canal warehouse that was built in 1841 by the Rochdale Canal Company to provide additional storage capacity for Jackson & Sons, carriers trading between Liverpool and Hull. This successful firm was also the principal occupant of the adjacent large warehouse that was built in 1836, and became known subsequently as Jackson's Warehouse

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
