82. British Archaeology, No 9, November 1995: Interview
    Interview in British Archaeology with the colourful Director of the notably successful Oxford Archaeological Unit.  
    http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba9/ba9int.html
    
    Extractions: Simon Denison talks to David Miles It is not uncommon to hear field archaeologists say that `there's not much going on in archaeology' any more. They tell you that in the era of developer-funded archaeology, historical inquiry has more or less died. It is a response you rarely get from the Oxford Archaeological Unit. Instead, its Director, David Miles, will typically run off five or six interesting current projects; and as a result, the Oxford Unit is probably cited more often in national newspapers - and in British Archaeology - than any other outfit save English Heritage. Recent work has included the redating of the Uffington White Horse, the tracing of continuous occupation at Yarnton from the Neolithic to the present, the conservation battle over development at Tewkesbury, and this month the discovery of possible Bronze Age bridges at Eton. How do they do it? Some units condemn them as `highly predatory', and it is true that the Oxford Unit operates in about 20 counties, hunting out interesting work wherever it may occur, and selling themselves to get it. Yet Oxford's media success also has, I suspect, much to do with the interpretive flair and salesmanship of the Director himself. David Miles is unusual among archaeologists in that he would quite happily not be one love the subject though he undoubtedly does. He is equally interested in interior design, textiles, art and architecture, novels and poetry. For years he wrote a gardening column in the

83. British Archaeology, No 10, December 1995: Interview
    Interview in British Archaeology with archaeologist Francis Pryor (1945- ) best known for his remarkable work at Flag Fen, the famous Bronze Age site.  
    http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba10/ba10int.html
    
    Extractions: Simon Denison talks to Francis Pryor He said he was the world's worst photographic subject, because he couldn't keep his face still for a moment. `Oh, and Christ, Maisie will kill me, 'cause I haven't combed my hair . . .' So far, so good. The man who can't feign an unctious smile, and who maintains a tousled appearance despite his wife's strictures, is Francis Pryor - a man as well known for his outspoken opinions, and his maverick refusal to conform to archaeology's `safe, middle- class culture' (as he puts it), as for his remarkable work at Flag Fen, the famous Bronze Age site near Peterborough which he found, and has excavated for over a dozen years. Green-jacketed, check-shirted, he is an upper-class countryman, a part-time sheep farmer as well as a prehistorian, disdainful of shallow urbanities and without much conventional ambition. We pace about Flag Fen on a bright, cold winter afternoon, at a time when the place is empty of visitors, a silent, watery outpost amid acres of flat dark soil. He is master of this, his own small domain, and it suits him well. Francis Pryor claims to be unemployable, because of his inability to tolerate a superior telling him what to do. Yet, recently elevated to the Ancient Monuments Advisory Committee (AMAC) at English Heritage, he has now been invited to deliver, next month, the first lecture sponsored by the British Archaeological Awards. Does it all mean that he's sliding peacefully, in middle age, into a cosy place in the establishment? `Good God, I hope not. I'll still be a rebel on AMAC,' he promised, ominously.

84. British Archaeology, No 19, November 1996: Obituary
    Obituary by Richard Bradley in British Archaeology of the late Professor at Edinburgh University and leading British prehistorian.  
    http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba19/ba19obit.html
    
    Extractions: British archaeology has lost the last of its `three wise men'. The death of Stuart Piggott, so soon after Christopher Hawkes and Grahame Clark, means that an entire generation of prehistorians who began their careers in the late 1920s has now passed. More than anyone else, they laid the foundations for the study of British prehistory and between them they taught most of the senior figures in the discipline today. Stuart Piggott was very different from both his great contemporaries. He was self-taught and never attended university. He began his career as a field archaeologist, working first in field survey and then as Alexander Keiller's assistant in the excavations at Avebury. He acquired his practical archaeology through his professional work, but he was always a man of wide sympathies. In his early years in Hampshire he learned his distinctive draughtsmanship from the work of Heywood Sumner, one of the last survivors of the Arts and Crafts Movement. He studied the life and work of William Stukeley, and during his wartime service he gained a first-hand acquaintance with the archaeology of India. This provided the subject matter of his first book, published in 1946. His second, Fire Among the Ruins , was a complete contrast, for this was a collection of poems in the manner of AE Housman.

85. British Archaeology, No 51, February 2000: Favourite Finds
    Mick Aston recalls the day he stumbled on a deserted medieval village. An article in the Favourite Finds series, British Archaeology, no 51.  
    http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba51/ba51int.html
    
    Extractions: ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison FAVOURITE FINDS Mick Aston recalls the day he stumbled on a deserted medieval village My favourite discovery took place in the summer of about 1976, when I was county archaeologist in Somerset. I was on my way back from Richard Bradley's wedding [he's now Professor of Archaeology at Reading University], and there were four of us in the car, the archaeologists Pete Leach and Ann Woodward, plus my wife. The wedding had been great. There were lots of archaeologists and I remember drinking a lot of champagne. Anyway, at this stage in the journey I was desperate to relieve myself and we had to pull the car over. It was a nice bright low-sun day, getting towards the evening. I climbed over the gate and was standing against the hedge, when I looked around and there was this amazing great sea of earthworks. One little walk out into it showed there was a holloway down the middle, and there were house platforms along each side. It was very, very clear. The cattle must have been in there and eaten all the grass down, otherwise it would have been overgrown. What I'd found was the remains of Nether Adber, one of the best preserved deserted villages in Somerset. The village is mentioned in Domesday Book. The fact was, the thing was sitting there, in the middle of the Somerset countryside

86. British Archaeology, No 4, May 1995: Interview
    An interview in British Archaeology with the former Director of the Oxford Archaeological Unit and Secretary of the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments of England.  
    http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba4/ba4int.html
    
    Extractions: ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison INTERVIEW Simon Denison talks to Tom Hassall No doubt about it, the new National Monuments Record Centre, which opened in Swindon last year, is an intriguing idea. Photos, surveys and building records, produced by the English Royal Commission over the past century, are now on one site for the first time and thrown open to the public. This turning outwards, this reformulation of itself as an open-access, public-service outfit, marks a brave new direction for the Commission - and one not without risk. Whether the type of record held will ever interest more than a specialist audience, time alone will tell. But as an idea, as a new democratic for the Commission, the NMR Centre is beyond reproach. Presiding over the Commission's rebirth, and enormously proud of the new infant, is Tom Hassall, Secretary of the Commission since 1986. The opening of the Centre, he told me on the phone, was `the most important event for the national heritage in years'. I had to come down, he insisted, to see for myself.

ISSN 1357-4442 Editor Simon Denison Mike Pitts recalls the day he found an English gunflint on a South pacific island As archaeological homes go, I suspect mine is thin on antiquities: I like beauty, not rubbish, and if I had money to buy a complete artefact, I'd exchange it for a modern work of art rather than undermine someone's cultural heritage. But I do have a little wedge of black flint, and it's one of the most precious things I own. To say its story connects a South Pacific island, an 1806 shipwreck, Phil Harding from
