This collection comprises the archive reports and core data from investigations conducted by the Central Zagros Archaeological Project between 2012 and 2017 in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. This includes images, reports, site records, spreadsheets and databases.

Cambridgeshire has been subject to widespread gravel (aggregates) extraction throughout the 20th century and, like much of the rest of the country, intensively since World War 2. The county is crossed by three great river valleys - the Cam, the Great Ouse and the Nene - that produced large swathes of river gravels thus creating the local resource for extraction. A considerable amount of archaeological records have been generated by this extraction activity and collectively these records provide details of human habitation and impact on the Cambridgeshire landscape from the Palaeolithic through, unbroken and often in great detail, to the modern day. An investigation of this material affords an opportunity to chronicle the landscape history of great swathes of Cambridgeshire and to contribute to both the archaeological and palaeontological records. A study by Oxford Archaeology East has been carried out as part of an Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF) commission to identify and assess the full spectrum of archaeological records and interventions on the Cambridgeshire Gravels, and subsequently to identify the degree to which backlogs of analysis and publications exist.

The Crossrail Archaeology Series are a series of 10 monographs which present the results of a campaign of archaeological investigations commissioned by Crossrail Ltd during the building of a new railway across London. They document 10,000 years of London history from Mesolithic period to post medieval.

This Bachelor Thesis describes excavators and their application in earthworks in construction of high-rise buildings. Excavators are universal machines that have constructions of different tools. Because of their diversity, they are applicable not only in construction, but in mining, agriculture and forestry. There are different excavator variants because of their shapes and sizes, those are: excavators with a high shovel, excavators with a gripping shovel, excavators with a towing shovel, multipurpose excavators and mini excavators. This Bachelor Thesis describes and lists roles in earthworks of the beforementioned excavators. Excavator tools which are important for specific works are also listed. An example of a calculation and a comparison of excavator effects is also listed. The differences in different types of excavators are also described. U završnom radu su opisani bageri te njihova primjena u zemljanim radovima pri građenju građevina visokogradnje. Bageri su univerzalni strojevi koji imaju konstrukcije različitih alata. Zbog svoje raznovrsnosti moguće ga je primijeniti ne samo u građevinarstvu nego i u rudarstvu, poljoprivredi te u šumarstvu. Razlikujemo različite vrsta bagera zbog njegovih različitih oblika i tipova, a to su: bageri s visinskom lopatom, bageri sa zahvatnom lopatom, bageri s povlačnom lopatom, bageri s dubinskom lopatom, bageri utovarivači i mini bageri. U radu su gore navedeni bageri opisani i navedena je njihova uloga u zemljanim radovima. Navedeni su i radni alati bagera koji su važni za obavljanje određenoga rada. Naveden je primjer u kojemu se izračunavaju i uspoređuju učinci bagera te se opisuju razlike svakog bagera.

This collection comprises images, a project brief, site records, and a site plan from an archaeological excavation carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust in May 2021 on land north of 35-40 Hanover Place, Abbey Lane, Saffron Walden, Essex in advance of groundworks for the construction of a new dwelling. Located between the Audley End Estate and a small stream, archaeological evaluation on the site in 2001 had previously revealed one side of a large post-medieval ditch along with three postholes, two pits and two gullies/ditches which produced material of 17th/18th century date.

A programme of archaeological work was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October 2011 prior to groundworks associated with a residential development at land off Crookbarrow Road, Norton, Worcestershire. Four ditches were identified (A-D), expanding on the results of the evaluation and providing a chronology for three phases of archaeological activity at the site from the mid to late Iron Age to the Roman period. Ditch A/B contained pottery dating to the mid to late Iron Age and was orientated north-east/south-west, returning to the north-west towards Crookbarrow Road and possibly defining the north-east corner of an enclosure. It had been re-cut by Ditch D, which extended beyond Ditch A/B to the north-east and contained Roman pottery broadly dating from the 1st to the 4th-centuries AD. The third phase of activity was marked by the addition of Ditch C, which provided three sides of a small, square paddock, using Ditch D as the final boundary to the north-west. The characterisation and dating of discreet features was hampered by two phases of post-Roman ridge and furrow and poor ground conditions. Four undated pits and three areas of animal poaching were recorded within the site.

This digital archive consists of images from an archaeological excavation, undertaken by Oxford Archaeology, extending an earlier evaluation trench where archaeological remains had been encountered, at the site of a proposed housing development on the former Belle Vue Stadium, Kirkmanshulme Lane, Gorton, Manchester in 2021.
