Abstract
A future for Berkshire's past: Berkshire County Council's programme of archaeological site management
Paul N K Frodsham
312 - 316
A description of a pilot programme, set up by the council in conjunction with EH, comprising a series of projects aimed at protection and presentation of the county's ancient monuments. After outlining the procedure for selecting suitable sites, the three stages of a project -- drafting the management plan, implementing the conservation strategy, and interpreting the site for the public -- are discussed. Five case-studies are then presented: a long barrow (Combe Gibbet), three round barrow sites (Holden Firs, Borson Barrows, and Stoke Park), and an Iron Age hillfort (Caesar's Camp).

Archaeology and the restoration of historic gardens: a maze of confusion
Christopher K Currie
Martin Locock
332 - 334
Considers the special problems of conservation of ornamental landscapes which usually comprise living components and are thus essentially non-static features. Historic gardens are often managed for their commercial potential and marketing may be a significant factor in decisions affecting their conservation -- a lack of understanding of archaeological principles by decision-makers needs to be overcome. The relevance of environmental sampling to the investigation of gardens is highlighted, with a plea for such techniques to be more frequently applied. The article concludes with a call for the establishment of a set of guidelines and proposes some of the specific issues which need to be tackled.
Maritima revisited
Alexzandra Hildred
Ian Oxley
335 - 336
Although many issues are now being addressed, `underwater archaeology' is still seen as under-resourced in relation to `dry' archaeology. Recent initiatives to introduce legislation for the protection of wrecks are summarised and the DoE's specific responses to the Joint Nautical Archaeology Policy Committee's (1989) recommendations are presented. Concludes with discussion of the issues which need to be tackled in future, calling particularly for improved legislation and environmental/planning regulations, and notes forthcoming initiatives of the Maritime Affairs Group (MAG). There is a figure identifying the thirty-five historic wrecks designated under the Protection of Wrecks Act 1973.
