Council for British Archaeology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Redirected from British Archaeology Jump to: navigation search Established in 1944, the Council for British Archaeology (CBA) is an educational charity working throughout the UK to involve people in archaeology and to promote the appreciation and care of the historic environment for the benefit of present and future generations. It achieves this by promoting research, conservation and education, and by widening access to archaeology through effective communication and participation. Contents Membership Research priorities Education Events ... edit The origins of the CBA lie in the Congress of Archaeological Societies ) of the City lay in ruins awaiting redevelopment, while the historic centres of Bristol, Canterbury, Exeter, Southampton, and many other towns had suffered devastation. In response to a resolution from the Oxford Meeting of the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies, Sir Alfred Clapham, then President of the Society of Antiquaries of London, called a meeting of the Congress of Archaeological Societies ‘to discuss the requirements of archaeology in the post-war period'. As a result, it was agreed to form a 'Council for British Archaeology' to promote, both collectively and through its members, British archaeology in all its aspects. The new Council defined one of its objectives as the 'safeguarding of all kinds of archaeological material and the strengthening of existing measures for the care of ancient and historic buildings, monuments, and antiquities'. Following its first meeting in March 1944 under Clapham's Presidency (he was succeeded later that year by Sir Cyril Fox), the Council initiated local excavation committees in a number of war-damaged towns, began to seek information about reconstruction projects, and set its Regional Groups the task of watching sites of all kinds.

17. British Archaeology, No 14, May 1996: Obituary Obituary in British Archaeology May 1996 of a leading populariser of archaeology, author of the Atlas of Ancient Archaeology and the Shell Guide to British Archaeology. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba14/ba14obit.html

British Archaeology , no 14, May 1996: Obituary Jacquetta Hawkes by Paul Bahn Jacquetta Hawkes, who has died aged 85, was one of the foremost popularisers of archaeology, who produced a whole series of syntheses, atlases and guidebooks which combined accuracy of fact with clarity of thought and great elegance of expression. Her book on Sir Mortimer Wheeler is also one of the best archaeological biographies. I was fortunate enough to collaborate on her last archaeological volume, The Shell Guide to British Archaeology - and certainly one of the perks of the job was getting to know her and her husband, the remarkable JB Priestley, at their spectacular home, Kissing Tree House near Stratford. In the end she had to pass me a far greater proportion of the book than had been expected, as her husband s worsening illness occupied more of her time - he died in 1984. My first stay at the house was a daunting experience, as I tried to make conversation over dinner with these formidable intellects without appearing stupid - after all they knew everyone, had been everywhere and done everything. But they rapidly put me at my ease. I remember asking Jacquetta, in my ignorance, if she had ever done much work on the Palaeolithic period, and she replied that she had not, `although I did find the Tabun skull' (one of the most famous Neanderthal skulls). After dinner I sat between them, watching television in the massive study, with its floor-to-ceiling books, grand piano and enormous desks - their two favourite shows were

18. British Archaeology, No 12, March 1996: Interview Simon Denison interviewed Tony Robinson for British Archaeology (no 12). http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba12/ba12int.html

British Archaeology , no 12, March 1996: Interview Simon Denison talks to Tony Robinson The man with a passion from Time Team Ask anyone in Britain to name an archaeologist, and most would probably name Tony Robinson - an actor best known for his slightly manic comedy roles who left school at 16, but who happens to present Channel 4's hugely popular Time Team (now filming its fourth series). It's no wonder, perhaps, that so many genuine archaeologists feel rather snooty about him. But what is he really like? Is that on-screen persona of eager-punter-seeking-truth just a big act, or is it the real thing? As he might have said himself on TV, `let's go and find out . . . ' The scene of this interview is his large terraced house in a smart part of Bristol. The house is full of curios and eastern works of art, including a statue of the Indian elephant-god Ganesha, an Indonesian carved wooden frieze, a chrome telephone and a model of a 1930s racing car. A real Mercedes sports car is parked somewhere outside - all fruits of his new-found status as a Successful Actor, which followed the 1980s TV comedy series Blackadder . Closing our ears to his teenage son's rock music blasting up from the basement (there is also a teenage daughter somewhere), we sit in his study. Or rather

The Festival of British Archaeology at HM Tower of London 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Wood, Queen's Stairs, HM Tower of London EC3N 4AB download a leaflet (PDF) The City of London Archaeological Society (COLAS) presents two days of free events and activities at HM Tower of London, with a rare opportunity to visit Tower Beach. This event is part of The Festival of British Archaeology , taking advantage of the best low tides on Tower Beach! Throughout both days, activities mainly but not exclusively for children include exploring a spoil heap, making a mosaic, searching for environmental evidence, dating finds, learning an old coin forger's tricks, playing an ancient board game and dressing up as a Roman Briton. As well as objects generously loaned by public and private collections, the displays include many opportunities to handle real finds from excavations in London and archaeological work on the Thames foreshore. COLAS stands include artefacts, reproductions, handling collections and interpretive material, covering a variety of topics from bones and burials, through flints and pots, to shoes and coins. The exhibits explore aspects of London life over two thousand years, from Roman costume to the 17th century kitchen, and demonstrate how archaeologists investigate the past and draw information from material of many kinds.

UNESCO now promotes 'cultural landscapes' as candidates for World Heritage inscription, and the first 23 sites already exist (including the first in the UK, at Blaenavon in South Wales). A European Landscape Convention was agreed last year, binding signatory Governments to protect landscapes as they do ancient monuments and buildings (although the UK has not yet signed).
