Abstract
Means and ends in archaeology
J D Evans
55 - 62
The outgoing CBA President examines the question of what archaeologists are doing and why, especially in the face of diminishing financial resources and of increased pressure on monuments as land users. Archaeological tourism is both bane and blessing; in any event archaeology's main justification is its status as an intellectual discipline within a European and world-wide context. Its development at both school and university level is therefore of the first importance, and the continued involvement of amateurs provides an essential safeguard against ossification of the professionals.
Houses and history
Maurice Barley
63 - 75
The Fifth Beatrice de Cardi Lecture is a wide-ranging survey of developments in the study of houses over the last thirty years. The NMR's collections of surveys and photographs represents a large enough corpus to allow valid research, mostly on smaller rural houses. A greater degree of continuity in building tradition is now recognized and our respect for early carpentry grows with increasing knowledge of it. Evidence of social mobility explains the diversity seen where continuous development had been expected.
