This does show how the dislocation between what we do, what we are perceived to do and how we do it.
The new archaeology has to include a level of understanding engagement - and this does not include standing on one side of a Heras fence saying... can't talk... have work to do. !
I spent yesterday going round three communities in Midlothian, where we are looking at a joint memory map that includes poetry, art, photography and archaeology - placing a public importance on the "old" even if it is the 1980s colliery closures... place the past onto the political agenda.,... saving heritage starts with those that value it .
