Common use of Disposal of Chemicals Clause in Contracts

Disposal of Chemicals. Plotholders who use chemicals have a duty of care to store, use and dispose of them safely. This includes weed killers, rat poisons, fungicides and soil sterilants etc. They should never be decanted into another container or brought into the UK from abroad. They should always be stored well out of reach of children and locked away. Plotholders should contact their local authority waste management department for information about facilities for the safe disposal of surplus chemical pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers. They should never be included in household rubbish, burnt, placed in skips, or poured into watercourses or any kind of drainage system.

Archaeology on Lawtie’s Land, Lintmill Road, Cullen Prehistoric Pottery Pottery is probably the commonest find on most archaeological sites, and can be a useful aid to help date a site, but it is not always easy to identify prehistoric pottery. Broken pieces of prehistoric pottery, covered in soil, can often be mistaken for pieces of stone so here are some tips to help: Is it curved? Most pottery vessels are round, so if a fragment has a regular curve and is not obviously a natural object then it is likely to be a piece of pot. Is it glazed? Prehistoric pottery is never glazed. The only colour will be from the natural clay it is made form, so normally earthy browns and ochre colours. Does it look handmade? Prehistoric pottery is handmade, i.e. not wheel turned but shaped by hand, so it can look uneven and crude. Below are some examples of decorated pottery from the late Neolithic – middle Bronze Age period (circa 2500 – 1000 BC). These vessels, also knows as Beakers or urns, are typically decorated with bands of fine incised geometric pattern. Flint was commonly used in prehistory to make tools, because when broken its edges are very sharp, it is durable, and it is long-lasting – edges can be “re-touched” or re-sharpened. Flint is a naturally occurring mineral which is found in as nodules in chalk; the nodules have a dull stone-like skin (“cortex”) and smooth glasslike interior. There are no known sources of flint nodules in Moray, but there are deposits of flint gravels in the Xxxxxx district of Aberdeenshire. Flint tools are made by striking flakes of flint off a central core. The flakes may have a bulb of percussion below the point where it was struck. This is a slight swelling caused by the impact of the striking tool. For the same reason there may also be ripples spreading outward from the bulb of percussion. To make a tool the flake will need to be shaped further as smaller pieces are removed. Ground Stones Ground stone tools are generally formed from coarse grained stone, and are typically in form of axe/adze/xxxx-heads or grinding and rubbing tools. The stone type varies, and while some may be polished (as with the objects to the right and below right) others maintain a rougher surface (as below). The grinding/rubbing tools appear to have been used for domestic purposes such as grinding cereal grains, while many of the polished stone tools do not show signs of use suggesting they were status symbols or for ceremonial purposes.
