Catalogue chronology (not a transcript): enquiry sent 24 September 2026 to addresses associated with the former GGAT and Heneb asking about a reported March 1983 fire at the former GGAT warehouse in Neath and whether records concerning Llandough finds were affected. No substantive reply is recorded in the current catalogue; this does not prove no reply exists. This description is based on existing correspondence-catalogue notes, not a verified verbatim transcript. Message order, exact wording, dates, sender/recipient fields, quoted history and attachments must be checked against the original source before the thread can be represented as fully captured.
Evidence version history
- 1.0.0 — 17 October 2026: initial public evidence record. Catalogue summary displayed; original email transcript and attachments pending. Private mailbox URLs excluded.
Evidence class: Email correspondence (Gmail thread). Catalogue ID: GHF-E186. Record status: placeholder / source capture pending.
Source: original correspondence held by the author; source export and full headers not yet published. Private mailbox URLs are intentionally omitted. Catalogue ID: GHF-E186.
Important source-status note: The original Gmail message bodies and attachments have not yet been copied or transcribed into this Wiki evidence page. The description below is a provisional neutral summary of the existing correspondence-catalogue notes, not a verbatim transcript. Dates, senders, recipients, attachments and exact wording must be checked against the original Gmail thread before this entry is treated as a fully captured artifact.
1. Evidence object and provenance
Object sought: the complete Gmail conversation identified above, including original sent/received messages, timestamps, sender and recipient fields, subject line, quoted material, and any attachments or linked files. The stable catalogue ID for this thread is GHF-E186.
Current custody record: the existing Wiki catalogue names Gmail as the source and records the thread ID. No independent export, full-header capture, attachment manifest or hash has yet been recorded on this page. The public Wiki entry is a finding aid and interpretive record; it is not a substitute for the Gmail original.
2. Neutral description of the correspondence
The current catalogue records an enquiry sent on 24 September 2026 to addresses associated with the former GGAT and Heneb, asking about a reported March 1983 fire at the former GGAT warehouse in Neath and whether there were records concerning destruction of Llandough finds. The catalogue refers to Roman-villa and medieval-house finds in the scope of the enquiry. No substantive reply is recorded in the current catalogue entry; the original thread must be checked to confirm recipients, exact scope and whether later messages were received.
Description basis: current Heneb / HER correspondence catalogue and linked institutional review, as recorded on 17 October 2026. This is a summary of the presently recorded chronology, not a claim that the original source has been independently re-read for this page.
3. Interpretation — what the evidence may mean
If the original message confirms the summary, it establishes that a question about the fire and possible record loss was asked. The enquiry itself is not evidence that archaeological material or records were destroyed in the fire, that specific finds were in the warehouse, or that such material related to the Great House Farm farmhouse rather than another Llandough site. Those are separate factual questions requiring independent records.
4. Limits, verification and next evidence-capture steps
- Retrieve the identified thread from Gmail and check every message in its original order, including internal headers, timestamps, subject, quoted history, attachments and any linked documents.
- Export or otherwise preserve a faithful source copy; record the capture date, file names, formats and cryptographic hashes. Keep the mailbox original unchanged.
- Replace this provisional summary only after checking the original messages. Where the message wording is quoted, use a faithful transcription and mark omissions or illegible portions explicitly.
- Separate what the email directly records from the sender’s assertions, the recipient’s response, later events and any inference. A missing reply or attachment in the current Wiki catalogue is a retrieval gap, not proof that it never existed.
