Abstract
Ethics in British archaeology
Philip A Rahtz
69 - 82
The retiring President's address refers back to Charles Thomas's 1971 address on this subject before examining the similar-but-different ethical issues of today. Discussion is under eight heads: whose land and environment?; monuments, homes, wrecks, and ruins; the ethics of disinterring the archaeological site known as Britain (with special reference to recent turmoils in York); finds, collections, and collectors (including metal detectorists); the ethics of excavation (to dig or not to dig? and the problem of human remains); sexism, racism, and religion; the ethics of the profession (with particular reference to contract archaeology, and to archaeology in the National Curriculum); and archaeology in Britain and Europe in the 1990s.
The experimental earthworks 1958-88 (the 13th Beatrice de Cardi Lecture)
Peter J Fowler
83 - 98
This unique experiment, in which a simple ditch and bank was built on each of two differing soil types, chalk downland and Eocene sands respectively, has now run a quarter of its planned course of 128 years. The aim was to observe and measure the changes taking place in the earthworks over time, so they are sectioned at set intervals (after 2, 4, 8,16, 32, 64, and 128 years from building). Administration of the project over such a long period has presented problems, and so has the simulation of buried 'archaeological' materials, especially in the matter of recovery. Some of the most important observations are discussed and figured.
