Guidance Open for Consultation

Managing Archaeology in London

New draft Greater London Archaeology Advisory Service (GLAAS) guidelines for archaeological work in London have been produced by GLAAS in association with MOLA, updating previous guidance from 2015. The new guidelines provide a new focus on public benefit from archaeology being placed at the centre of what we do.

We are now carrying out consultation on the guidelines and welcome comments from organisations and individuals involved in archaeological work in London, and anyone with an interest in London’s heritage.

Please consider the following when submitting your feedback:

1. Do you support our proposals to mainstream public benefit?
   How could they be improved?
2. How can GLAAS guidelines best encourage or support carbon reduction?
3. Do you recognise and find the London site types helpful?
   Could they be improved?
4. Is specialist work (e.g. finds) adequately covered?
   If not, how could it be better represented?
5. Will the approach to museum archive deposition work?
   What more needs to be done to improve and streamline the process?
6. Do you support the requirements for digital archiving?
7. Are there any other realistic measures which the public archaeological sector could take to improve planning-related projects in both process or outcomes?
8. Can you suggest good case studies which support this approach?
9. Do you have any other comments?
