Download or read book Competing Values in Archaeological Heritage written by Stuart Campbell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-22 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archaeological heritage legislation aims to ensure the best possible protection for the archaeological heritage, yet it remains the case that legislation can remain ineffective through other practical considerations. Some consideration may be legal or procedural, such as difficulties in enforcing legislation or in preventing crimes or damage or archaeological monuments. However other problems may be less obvious and harder to address, and require solutions which go much further than the simple application of the law. The aim of this volume is to address several issues surrounding the management of archaeological heritage comparing and contrasting which laws 'work' and which ones do not, and ignoring other issues which might effectively present the transplantation of an 'ideal system' to another country or political climate. Or the cultural attitudes which might prevent a law working in the legal system for which it was designed. The contributions are from various international jurisdictions and address a variety of subjects - from the protection of archaeological monuments to dealing with and controlling chance finds made by members of the public.
Download or read book Archaeology and Metal Detecting written by Neil Macnab and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study reports on a community archaeology and metal-detecting project, carried out on a greenfield site destined for development as housing. This unique study draws on the experience of the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, which joined together in a co-operative enterprise involving the York Archaelogical Trust and the City of York Council, to hold a number of open days on the site of the proposed new village on the edge of the city of York. The event was designed to involve the local community and particularly local metal detectorists in the archaeological examination of the site as part of the planning process. Archaeology and metal detecting outlines good working practice and presents guidelines and protocols on how to integrate metal detector users and other members of the community into the planning and development process. Community involvement in the archaeological investigation of greenfield sites was found to provide a great opportunity for local people, including metal detectorists, to take part in integrated research into the history of their local surroundings and the processes involved can be applied to any greenfield development in the UK.

Covering the period from the Anglo-Saxon settlements of the fifth century, through the emergence of the great kingdoms of Kent, East Anglia, Mercia, Northumbria and Wessex, to the Viking invasions of the mid-ninth century and the conquest of all the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms apart from the Wessex of Alfred the Great, this is an essential volume for any aspiring amateur archeologist, coin collector or student interested in this historical period.
Download or read book Key Concepts in Public Archaeology written by Gabriel Moshenska and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad overview of the key concepts in public archaeology, a research field that examines the relationship between archaeology and the public, in both theoretical and practical terms. While based on the long-standing programme of undergraduate and graduate teaching in public archaeology at UCL’s renowned Institute of Archaeology, the book also takes into account the growth of scholarship from around the world and seeks to clarify what exactly ‘public archaeology’ is by promoting an inclusive, socially and politically engaged vision of the discipline. Written for students and practitioners, the individual chapters provide textbook-level introductions to the themes, theories and controversies that connect archaeology to wider society, from the trade in illicit antiquities to the use of digital media in public engagement, and point readers to the most relevant case studies and learning resources to aid their further study. This book was produced as part of JISC's Institution as e-Textbook Publisher project.
