Rescue have started a web based 'Cuts Map' and ask anyone who knows of cuts in any heritage area to get in touch.

I personally think that any archaeological job loss is both a personal tragedy for the person involved (or persons where there are dependants) and a tragedy for the overall archaeological community. I thought that the baying support and obvious 'schadenfreude' of some Members of Parliament when the Chancellor announced close to 500,000 public service job losses the other week, of which archaeology will bear its share, was quite disgusting..... I would hope that BAJRites can rise above such levels...
