Description
The survey area is first divided into kilometre squares, each of which is given an identifying letter. Each kilometre square is then sub-divided into hectares, numbered from 1-100, starting at the south-west corner. Each hectare is then sub-divided into 20m squares labelled A-Z (excluding 0), starting in the south-west corner. A transect 2m wide is then walked along the western side of each 20m square and the finds are collected and removed for specialist analysis. A fieldwalking sheet record sheet is completed for each hectare walked. This records which 20m runs were walked, who walked them, the condition of the field surface and crop (if any), the weather and the topography of the field.
