Dig deep
Barrie, G
Dig deep - 2002 - Property Week 67(28) 19 July 2002, 26-28 (3) .
Discusses the relationship between property developers and the archaeologists who excavate and document their construction sites. It is estimated that developers have spent £200m on archaeology over the past decade but the end of the development boom has caused severe retrenchment in archaeological services dependant on income from developers. Key archaeological organisations do not favour being tied to government\public sector funding as this would compromise their independence. The revision of PPG16 might give archaelogists more security and importance but funding remains a problem.
