Eeerm, where else, West Yorks has had one for years, think theres ones for North Yorks and Northumberland too...maybe the north's ahead of the south in something?
I couldn't comment on the south, maybe it depends which part of the north you are in.
It was the notion of a 'local authority' magazine covering archaeology in some way that was interesting. I am familiar with county society journals carrying summaries of work carried out, although these not put together by those doing actually the work, which makes things a bit easier, but that's slightly different. I'm also aware of Discovery and Excavation in Scotland, although I'm not sure how that is compiled and by whom. All very useful, indeed, essential and a shame for those areas that don't have something along those lines.
