Abstract
In situ preservation is a complex and dynamic process, which requires an un derstanding of the nature and scale of the material to be preserved, an und erstanding of the context of the site in terms of managerial needs and a pr ogramme of scientific monitoring of changes within the burial environment. The example of a rural archaeological landscape in northeast England, which is undergoing a programme of hydrological management, is considered.
