Abstract:		 In recent decades, amateur, or independent, archaeology has suffered from a perceived exclusion from active and major archaeological fieldwork owing to the increasingly professional nature of British archaeology. The situation is sometimes contrasted with a past where amateur archaeology was the mainstay of the discipline, without problematic relations with professionals. This paper assesses the actual situation in the interwar period, a presumed golden age of amateur archaeology, via the examination of a case-study, the excavation of Angmering Roman villa. The organization and progress of the excavation project are discussed. It will be seen that while independent societies were in the past far more active in terms of fieldwork, the tension between amateur and professional archaeologists has always existed and is a function of their differing perspectives and objectives.
