Abstract
Power and responsibility in British archaeology
Barry Cunliffe
51 - 57
The outgoing President of the CBA reviews a decade of change in which the CBA has provided a lead for other archaeological organizations to follow. Three problems need immediate solution: State archaeology must become more efficient to meet a task which grows even as resources dwindle; the public must be educated to regard metal detectors as socially unacceptable; and the DES must accept its responsibility towards the museums landed with an enormous growth in excavated material. In the longer term increased public leisure will require far more attention to needs of visitors at archaeological sites, and to problems of conservation of those sites.
Are we too loud?
W Groenman-van Waateringe
58 - 74
The subject of the Third Beatrice de Cardi Lecture (1978) is the role of the environmental archaeologist in the study of prehistory. The historical development of the subject in Western Europe is first outlined, after which the present task and function of the environmental archaeologist is discussed, laying stress on the need for quantification and having regard to post-depositional circumstances affecting any attempt to quantify. Examples are cited from bone studies and palynology, and finally a view is presented of how future research should be directed, with particular reference to the illumination of present-day conservation problems by the evidence of vegetational history.
