The development of this Toolkit required 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.
The authors would like to re-iterate our thanks to the AG2GP-Handbook 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 work 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 Toolkit, 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.
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, along with their further inputs and those of Jay Carver and Access+ staff.
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.
This Toolkit has been developed by a collection of practitioners. The Principal Author of the first release is Dr James S Taylor, with additional content and editing undertaken by Prof Keith May.
The original AG2GP-Handbook project team was Keith May, James Taylor, Kenneth Aitchison, Doug Rocks-Macqueen. The AG2GP-Handbook project was funded by an AHRC ‘Follow-on Funding for Impact and Engagement’ grant AH/X006735/1.
