really useful.<br>

If you are going there anyway, I guess there is not much extra
cost in you taking the phones with you.. worse case they won't get
used.<br>
<br>
However, do we need wifi / 3g?<br>
<br>
Mike, what do you think?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I had an interesting couple of days last
week at Chester, so this is just a quick email to let you know
what’s happening there and help plan a trial of PoN
accordingly. The site is probably best described as
‘disappointing’, many of the things that the archaeologists
were hoping to find based on the results of geophysics just
haven’t emerged. There is still archaeology on the site, but
it is mainly modern and relates to a railway line that used to
pass through the site. This means they expect to be finished
on the site in around two weeks, and when I arrived on site
they were discussing shortening the excavators contracts.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This also means that the excavation might
never be put into ARK, as L-P only use it on sites where they
have filled out 100 or more context sheets. At the time of my
visit, they were up to about 40. The lack of interesting
things coming out of the ground also means that there was
nothing in particular that stood out as being suitable to
record using PoN. There was however interest in making audio
notes, and the director told me he often uses his iPhone for
making audio recordings of his thoughts while working.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would suggest that the site is probably
more relaxed than a normal commercial site, and although not a
great deal of exciting archaeology is being found, this might
make it a good place to deploy something, as there is more
chance the archaeologists would have the time to learn to use
it and to engage with it. On the other hand, there is limited
recording happening, so if lots of data is required, this
might not be the place. Due to the uncertain nature of the
dig, the director recommends that I go back this week,
possibly Thursday and Friday again, so I am happy to do this
and take PoN with me depending upon whether you feel it is
worth it.<o:p></o:p></p>
