As usual, Scotland has it nailed!

Hearts weren't doing much nailing last Thursday..........

DES is an excellent concept, but I would like to see it more widely available. If memory serves, you can't actually buy one-off copies - unless you join HS, which is a tad extravagant if you only want a limited number of volumes.

OR view it all here for free... (excluding teh trailing 2 years)

I am sad enough to have bought a kindle, and will be putting ALL the back issues onto it!

However, you can get it free free in hard copy as well... by joining Archaeology Scotland, plus a magazine and newsletter and you get to be half Scottish!

To which I would add... to be able to GIVE respect and have it.

It is the people who make archaeology. Glory is fleeting an meaningless. I am an archaeoloigst NOT a treasure hunter

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.

All the ones I mentioned are prepared by the County Council archaeological staffs. Yorkshire also benefits from all the 'sections' affiliated to the Yorkshire Archaeological Society, that all produce their own annual reports, so if you've got a period-specific site of any interest there's never any problem getting something short into print, they're usually trawling for stuff to fill them without all the fuss involved with the 'proper' journals (no insult intended to the smaller publications which are invariably full of good stuff, even mine on occasion).
