vulpes Wrote:Really? Why? According to the ALGAO website it's in progress. http://www.algao.org.uk/Association/Engl...esFwks.htm And West Yorks published some period agendas this year.

Have you read them? They're all by different authors so there's little consistency (not even common formatting), so that the entire prehistoric period is covered in a very slim document whereas the Roman one would stop a speeding train, the recommendations in the AS one seem to be weighted towards the author's interests (easy to guess their favourite sites) etc etc. Have to admit not read the Industrial one, printed one off but it's somewhere in my unread reading mountain. Don't get me wrong though, all useful documents (and have been used). A more unified approach would have been helpful though, the way it's been done there's not really any themes-through-time, for instance
Had heard the Yorkshire one had stalled/died again, but pleased to hear there's life in it yet, there's a limit to how far people can keep quoting bits from Manby et al which was an assessment not an agenda, although pretty useful
