Abstract:		 E.C. Curwen’s excavations ahead of development on Whitehawk Camp in the 1930s were funded by the developers. Curwen also specifically saw the damage to the camp as being counter-balanced by the knowledge gained. In both respects, the excavations were far ahead of their time. This note describes how these arrangements came about, and also discusses why these principles were not adopted when ‘rescue archaeology’ developed in the late 1960s. ‘Developer-funding’ did not become the norm until 1990, and an approach which emphasises gains in knowledge (rather than ‘preservation by record’) was not embraced by policy until 2010.
