Post-Excavation Assessment for an Archaeological Observation, Investigation & Recording - Northampton North West Relief Road Asset Diversion - Chapel Brampton
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The observation, investigation & recording monitored all intrusive works associated with the pipe connections and temporary compound construction, comprising topsoil stripping a 20m x 20m square in plan for the compound, and excavating 168m length, predominantly 8m wide (Figure 1), of topsoil and subsoil along the pipe route, to an average 0.40m in depth. All intrusive works were monitored by a suitably experienced archaeologist and the client provided the archaeologist with sufficient time to allow suitable investigation by hand. Archaeological deposits and features were recorded according to accepted professional standards. Sufficient data was recorded to allow for a full characterisation of contexts and their relationships to be made and allow for future studies to query and compare the dataset with confidence. Archaeological contexts were recorded and numbered individually on pro-forma context sheets with all relevant data such as drawings, photographic images, finds, environmental samples, height values and any other information cross-referenced. A further, more general record of the work comprising descriptions and discussions of the archaeology was maintained as appropriate. A complete digital photographic record of the work was kept. All images were taken using a camera with a suitable megapixel resolution. The photographic record is regarded as part of the site archive and digital files will be appropriately filed, saved, labelled and cross-referenced in relation to a site-specific photography register. The archive will be retained by Dalcour Maclaren or the Client until it can be deposited with the Northamptonshire Archaeological Resource Centre. The site archive will include all project records and cultural material produced by the archaeological mitigation and will be prepared and deposited in accordance with the standards as set out in the Northamptonshire Archaeological Resource Centre Archaeological Archive Standards (2020). Dalcour Maclaren will register the works with the Online AccesS to the Index of archaeological investigationS (OASIS). A digital copy of this report and any appropriate associated documentation from the archive will be made available upon approval of this report. Archaeological observation, investigation and recording was undertaken from the 27th to 29th June 2022 on behalf of Anglian Water on land south of Chapel Brampton, Northamptonshire. The monitoring was maintained in order to identify and characterise any archaeological resource present. Regarding the scope of works undertaken, the archaeological monitoring was fit for purpose and has recorded a single gully feature within the easement, as well as recovered a small assemblage of archaeological material. Remains of a potential mill were not recorded during these works, however, it is likely any remains of this, should they be preserved, are concentrated at the junction of Northampton and Welford Roads where the junction meets the river, and the works for this scheme did not intrude into this area. As aforementioned, the monitoring work recorded a single shallow gully feature, given the limited extent of the feature exposed and it's isolation from any further remains it is of limited interpretative value. The impact to this feature within the easement from excavation for the pipe will be limited, and the feature will likely survive to it's greater extent beyond the limit of excavation recorded. The small assemblage of finds attests to the archaeological activity previously recorded in the environs to the site. Given that the finds are residual in nature and may be present on site via hillwash, bioturbation or manuring, they are limited in significance and interpretative value. Dalcour Maclaren does not make recommendations for further analysis or reporting.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
