Last June the ANACT (National Association for Local Authority Archaeology) held a webinar on polluted environments and their consequences for archaeology. Presentations aimed to review the surveys carried/y out on a topic which is certainly of great importance for the health of archaeologists, as well as the current discussions on how to deal  with this type of environment during excavations.
