From Baldock to Alconbury: the Archaeology of the Proposed Routes for the A1(M).

This project was commissioned by Mott-MacDonald on behalf of the Department of Transportation. The project brief consists solely of a desktop study of the known archaeology in the area around the five proposed routes for the A1(M) widening from Baldock to Alconbury. The aims of this project are: 1. to determine the direct threat to known sites along each of the five routes, 2. to provide some determination of the degree of probable archaeological density along the routes, 3. to present areas of particular archaeological sensitivity and areas of high archaeological potential, 4. to provide some measure of archaeological destruction for each proposed route
