The author, a professional archaeologist, describes some techniques of late twentieth century archaeological excavation on industrial sites, drawing on his own experience on mining and metallurgical sites; it is hoped that the conclusions will be more widely applicable. He highlights the importance of detailed factual recording, high-quality excavation methods where appropriate, the study of process residues, and the integration of detailed building recording with the process of excavation.
