Abstract
Changes via consultations
Reports on representations made by CSA to national and local government on matters affecting archaeology. There are comments on proposals for local government reform, a review of town and country planning in Scotland, planning guidelines, and draft Structure/Local Plans.
Is there a future for our past?
Considers the potential effects for archaeology of the April 1996 reorganisation of local government in Scotland. Despite the recent issue of NPPG 5 and PAN 42, which have helped to consolidate a system of archaeological curation at regional or island level, it is anticipated that local archaeological provision will suffer to some extent in most areas.
It's all happening on the islands
In `News from the Western Isles' Carol Cunningham reports plans to celebrate the archipelago's heritage during the 1995 Year of Archaeology. A note on `Orkney' by Jill Harden comments on an allegation that local government archaeological provision does not do justice to the importance of the islands' archaeology. Roger Miket then gives the background to a forthcoming `Hebridean Forum' for archaeology.
Speaking out
Robin Noble
Discusses the extent to which many archaeological reports may be understood by lay people. It is argued that the tax-payer must be encouraged to appreciate the importance of the subject. There is also a suggestion that much archaeological theorising is based on biased evidence, and an example is drawn from the Orcadian Iron Age. More coherent research strategies are called for in order to make more effective use of limited resources.
Seminar on grave-stones
Summarises papers presented at the 1994 Carved Stones Committee seminar on Post-Reformation memorials. Subjects covered include a survey of stones in Lowland parish graveyards, the masons and their work, and the conservation of the fabric of gravestones.
