Abstract
All at sea and undefended
6 - 7
Considers the poor level of protection afforded to seabed sites by existing legislation and planning policy. Part of the problem is seen to be the lack of detailed knowledge of the extent of underwater remains and recording projects to address this situation are reported. Government action is also discussed.
Naseby battlefield `unharmed' by new road
Reports that the site of the battle as defined in the Battlefields Register is not affected by the newly-opened A1--M1 link road. Protest against the road's encroachment on the traditional battle area was one factor which lead to the register's inception.
Stop peat extraction
Richard Morris
Highlights this threat to both lowland raised bogs and upland blanket mires, which are unique archaeological and ecological resources.
Buildings archaeology faces effectiveness test
Describes an experiment to test building recording techniques. A standing medieval moated farmhouse at Risley (Cheshire) is being dismantled by one team of archaeologists before a second team with no prior knowledge of the building excavates the foundations -- their interpretation will then be compared with the record of the actual structure.
Schedule sites offshore
Valerie Fenwick
Whilst recognising that the database of underwater archaeology is not yet sufficient to demonstrate the importance of marine sites, it is argued that existing legislation should be tested on selected important sites. Action is needed both to protect such sites and to involve sympathetic members of the public in underwater archaeology.
Battlefields get paper protection
Lists battle sites on the proposed register. It includes forty-one sites whose boundaries are deemed to be well defined, while less well-defined sites are registered on a supplementary list. The effect of the register on planning policy, and some public reactions to it, are also noted.
Church reveals secrets of the grave
Reports on the findings from the excavation of burials within the church of St Nicholas, Sevenoaks (Kent). About 500 burials dating from the eleventh to nineteenth centuries have been unearthed and the degree of preservation is thought to rival that of burials from Spitalfields, London. Flowers, fine clothing, jewellery, and ash have all been recovered and analysis of the remains is expected to shed light on changing patterns of life and death over the centuries.
Transforming Stonehenge
Outlines the latest English Heritage/National Trust plan for presenting the prehistoric landscape, following the DTp decision to revise its plans for upgrading the A303 and A344 trunkroads. The existing carriageways will be closed and grassed over, with a new road diverted some distance away or set in a long tunnel. It is hoped that the entire landscape will be opened up to visitors and a new visitor centre erected 4km away.
Capturing the feeling
An interview with photographer Mick Sharp.
Ian Smith
Reports the accidental death of the Church archaeologist and RCAHMS worker.
