One thing we all could be doing is speaking out against the undermining of the local government curatorial services that is currently gaining momentum around the country. Make no mistake without the curators setting the archaeological conditions as part of the planning process there will be no archaeology apart from the occasional university or local community group dig. We are rapidly heading back to a planning free for all with no curatorial overview. Does anybody know what the state is across the country, how many curators have we lost how many H.E.Rs are under threat?
Before we look to a new archaeological police force lets look after the one we have got.
