Abstract:
Prompted by the recent decision of the Board of Governors of the Museum of London to review the structure of MoLAS, this article discusses the implications for British archaeology of recent moves away from the territorial, publicly-funded rescue units of the 1970--80s and emerging preference for in situ preservation of sites, as advocated by PPG 16. The institutionalisation of the `polluter pays' principle is seen to have introduced the disciplines of the commercial market into archaeology. Arguments in favour of the new commercialism are considered and challenged. A way forward is proposed, based on three principles: a recognition of the importance of research, government funding to match its own stated commitment to archaeology, and a vigorous profession that is integrated with a flourishing voluntary sector.
