I am glad we have an agreement, it is so much more useful.
The question is, how within PPS5 can the generality of archaeology and heritage be protected. How in public media, can the loss of these services be seen as detrimental to both income generation and general well-being. ( which is on the govt radar just now ) There is unprecedented activity in govt just now, relating to Heritage... how to influence what is said.
I would like to see a unified voice speaking to and explaining archaeologies worth to those that cut. I did read Mike Heyworths statement with interest.
BAJR - like it or not, was a touchstone.. a representation of archaeology's rises and falls. Confidence and fears. Mapping BAJR is a useful shorthand to see where we are.
The question is, where are we? Seems to be that everyone has a different idea.

Quote:The CBA's new strategy, launched in the House of Lords in November, is all about "Making Archaeology Matter". What matters now, more than ever, is that we engage people themselves to safeguard the archaeological interest in their locality. The CBA sees archaeological stewardship and active participation at the heart of what we do with, and through, our members - in education and research, with young people, in community archaeology and in all our advocacy work for archaeology - whether that is safeguarding historic buildings, reforming the Treasure Act, campaigning to protect the rural heritage or deriving maximum public value from development-led archaeology.Read it all here : > https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webad...e0f08.1011
The whole archaeological sector needs to work together, with new and innovative collaborations creating stronger future partnerships, to support even greater public involvement and action. We should look ahead to the archaeological discipline of the future and lay the foundations of a strong, appropriately rewarded and highly-skilled profession, working closely with an active community and voluntary sector. The CBA is ready to play a leading role and we look forward to working with a wide range of partners, and our expanding membership, to ensure that the archaeological heritage of the UK is safeguarded and appreciated in the future.
