Dear Sarah My impression of Stratascan is that the company aims for high standards in the work it carries out. Consequently I imagine that they would be interested in the issue, and able to advise and amend the contents of standard reports if it were brought to their attention.

I must say that all the other information necessary for the form was included in the report, and if, indeed, it is such a vital piece of information, why is it not obviously stated on the report? This particular OASIS form was filled in by the unit who sub contracted the geophysics work (who wouldn't necessarily know the specialist information), so perhaps there is some need for clarification of whose responsibility it should be, so it can be made explicit in the briefs. Speaking to my DC colleague, geophysics usually arises as a result of it being requested in the brief (so an OASIS request could be included), and occasionally at the suggestion of the main archaeological contractor, where the brief may not specify geophysics. If the resolution is somewhere between 3 & 5, then this is not an option on the drop down lists on the respective form. Neither is there an unknown - perhaps some fine tuning is required if this is to be completely usable?

Eventually it is hoped that these units will be filling in their own OASIS forms and I'd be happy to arrange training to take this forward. I'll also investigate online help for these fields. Could I ask whether sub-contracted geo units would be triggered by briefs for OASIS?

Can anyone suggest to me how I might find this information in the Stratascan report I have in front of me, or what I should be looking for? There is no online help for this field as yet, neither is there an option for saying unknown. As I can see the value in recording this type of info for future research, I am doing my best to record a complete and accurate record, but its not immediately obvious what this should be. thanks in advance Sarah **************************** Sarah Poppy Senior Archaeologist Cambridgeshire Archaeology ELH 1108 Shire Hall Cambridge CB3 0AP tel: 01223 717312 fax: 01223 362425 [log in to unmask] www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/archaeology The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
