Early Mesolithic Wetland Sites in the Middle Kennet Valley
Author(s): Richard Milwain, Erica Gittins
Commissioned as one of the National Importance Programme Pilot Projects in 2014, this study proposes a methodology for defining, recording and weighing the significance of non-designated heritage assets of archaeological interest that fall outside the criteria in section 61.7 of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979 but which have the potential to be demonstrably of equivalent significance to scheduled monuments. The study uses a series of known and partly known Mesolithic sites in the Kennet valley to test a methodology which uses a predictive model of significance alongside a series of wider areas of interest, the results of which can then be weighed against a set of criteria relating to national importance.
