Thanks for the extra info... together the number of projects across the UK is impressive now... it would be good if 'them that are in power' take notice of all these events.. the public interest .. the potential benefits to community and education and start putting some real money and backing to archaeology. Not as a posh hobby, but as one more tool for creating a more inclusive and community minded Britian.! I know the CBA will be pushing this to the government - so who knows.. a bit of good news might help them? on the other hand I can see the 'Daily Mail' frothing response as well... spending money on archaeology when nurses are so badly paid.. etc. I have seen the benefits to a village or town of arhcaeology - with more ownership of history, less vandalism, skills learned, friends made, age groups meeting together etc... and a bit of healthy outside work as well!
