Abstract
Survey and archaeology
Council for British Archaeology
55 - 62
Consultative paper approved by the CBA Executive Board and Council which indicates the urgent need for the rationalization and improvement of present arrangements for the comprehensive survey of the archaeological heritage. Five main sources of deficiency are identified and eight principal recommendations made. In particular a comprehensive scheme for the collection, storage and dissemination of archaeological survey information must be devised and implemented, a national network of county Sites and Monuments Records completed to common standards, and the functions of RCHM redefined in relation to both survey and publication.
Looking at cows - field archaeology in the 1980s
Christopher Taylor
63 - 75
The practice of field archaeology is altogether too unprofessional for present and future needs; even as carried out by state-aided bodies (with the notable exception of the OS Archaeology Division) it is inefficient, too dependent on individual whims, and lacking in cost-effectiveness, and much of that performed in recent years for the DoE has been of poor quality. A properly trained cadre of field archaeologists is needed, able to recognize the slightest of earthworks and competent in at least the simpler forms of historical and cartographic research. It is not enough to put unemployed excavators into the field. Only with a fully organized body of fieldworkers having its own career structure can we obtain the fast but accurate recording needed for a realistic information bank on which to base excavation policy.
