D4.3 Virtuous Circle Report

This Deliverable 4.3, titled Virtuous Circle Report, reports on the central public‐facing activity of Work Package 4 during the final conference of TETRARCHs. Its aim was to explore how the lessons learned across the project’s experimental excavations should inform future archaeological data-capture practice, and to gather recommendations for the concluding revision of the Guide to Good Practice. Four case study presentations and an open plenary debate confirmed the value of an iterative “collect–organise–analyse–improve” loop, highlighted resource and skills bottlenecks, and developed concrete proposals for training, archiving and community engagement.
