72. British Archaeology, No 5, June 1995: Interview Interview in British Archaeology June 1995 with the chief archaeologist for the National Trust. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba5/ba5int.html

ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison Issue no 5, June 1995 INTERVIEW Simon Denison talks to David Thackray Meeting the man from the Trust The National Trust is not an organisation one immediately associates with archaeology, but its 580,000 acres of land in fact contain tens of thousands of sites and monuments - including such famous names as Stonehenge, Avebury and Hadrian's Wall - not to mention vast tracts of historic landscape. It is one of the richest, perhaps the richest owner of archaeological sites in Britain; and in its centenary year, questions are now in the air about how well it looks after its vast share of our archaeological heritage. David Thackray, the Trust's chief archaeological advisor, was also its first full-time archaeological employee - appointed more or less straight from his PhD in 1975 - which suggests that the Trust has perhaps not taken archaeology that seriously for very long. Indeed, his appointment followed a number of cases in which ancient monuments on Trust land had been ploughed out or otherwise damaged, leading to a campaign of pressure on the Trust to take its responsibilities more to heart. And since then? In conservation, there has been steady improvement - though, as Dr Thackray admits, the importance of archaeology is still not fully accepted in all reaches of the organisation, with only something over half the National Trust's 16 regions now employing an archaeological advisor. As for research, the Trust still does very little, remaining, perhaps, as intellectually passive vis-a-vis archaeology as it has been accused of being in its management of country houses.

73. British Archaeology, No 7, September 1995: Interview Interview in British Archaeology September 1995 with the Director of the successful York Archaeological Trust and retiring President of the CBA. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba7/ba7int.html

British Archaeology , no 7, September 1995: Interview Simon Denison talks to Peter Addyman So farewell then, Mr President If the presidency of the CBA had a formal `job description', it might read something like this: massively time-consuming work, much of it at weekends, endless travelling to represent the CBA as advocate, conciliator, enthusiast and guide; payment, nil; thanks, occasional; pleasure, potential; prestige, enormous. Sounds fun? Perhaps not. But Peter Addyman, who retires as President this month, has carried out the task with diligence and - he insists - great enjoyment for the past three years. There are many at the CBA, aware of the burden of work he has voluntarily taken on, who will be sorry to see him go. Peter Addyman's `real job' is at the York Archaeological Trust, which he set up, and has directed, since 1972. The Trust is one of the most commercially innovative of Britain's professional units, and visitors are treated with a kind of smart business panache: we met there on one of the hottest days of the year, and out came the strawberries and sparkling elderflower cordial no instant coffee for guests at this unit! Peter Addyman is canny and circumspect, naturally reticent about his feelings and private life, and aware of the fact that too much heart-searching in front of a journalist may not always do oneself, or one's organisation, any favours. His answers are often indirect - he tells you what he wants you to know - which makes him somewhat perplexing to interview. So to an extent one has to read between the lines.

74. British Archaeology, No 20, December 1996: Interview Interview in British Archaeology December 1996 with the Professor of Archaeology at Reading and noted British prehistorian. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba20/ba20int.html

British Archaeology , no 20, December 1996: Interview Man of status, who wants it not Simon Denison talks to Richard Bradley Few figures in archaeology command such respect as Richard Bradley, Professor of Archaeology at Reading. In a close-knit but sometimes catty discipline, he tends to be praised in superlatives. Colleagues have described him to me as `a real live wire', `a genius', and `the best British prehistorian for 20 years'. Moreover, these and other compliments have come unsolicited, suggesting he is as much liked as admired. So it was with some curiosity that I went to meet this man with such a reputation. What would he be like face to face? And would I end up writing hagiography? We met at his home, a modest Victorian terraced house in east Oxford. I saw him before he saw me, sitting by his front window, arms on his arm-rests, looking into the room - just waiting. I waved, and he ushered me in, a pullovered professor, to the same spot by the window. It was a darkish room, the bright November afternoon light cut out (`quite deliberately,' he said) by a thicket of bushes outside. We sat facing one another on wicker chairs amid sparse furnishings - a couple of sofas, a few small Victorian prints and paintings on the wall, some half-empty bookshelves, a single ceiling light, and a miniature TV on a tall stand. Whereas some interviewees relish putting their lives on show, and point out this and that in their homes, Richard Bradley seemed tense and apprehensive. His answers were full and direct, always helpful, but remained answers to questions - as in a job interview - rather than one half of a relaxed conversation. For this private, and probably not overly self-confident man, I suspect the meeting was a minor ordeal. Nonetheless, we got on to archaeology, and he talked fast and excitedly in a highish voice. His hands and eyebrows were always on the move; and time and again, apropos of nothing in particular, he grinned at me mid-sentence, mid-exposition, as if to help me along. His bubbling enthusiasm is his most obvious and appealing characteristic.

76. British Archaeology, No 26, July 1997: Interview Interview in British Archaeology July 1997 with the ground-breaking fabric analyst and author of the standard textbook on church archaeology. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba26/ba26int.html

British Archaeology , no 26, July 1997: Interview Taking an aesthetic view of buildings Simon Denison talks to Warwick Rodwell The genesis of this interview was a letter that Warwick Rodwell, distinguished church archaeologist and historic buildings adviser, sent me in December last year. He wrote, apropos of something or other: Some people tend to accumulate more junk than others. Although we now live in an 18-room vicarage, with coach house, redundant church and former school in the grounds, they are all full up! To quote Gilbert Scott, we are `rammed, jammed, and crammed', but still collecting . . . I admit it. Most of the interviews in this series try to be at least vaguely topical, but this one was driven by pure curiosity. You might expect, or hope, a buildings adviser would live somewhere interesting himself; but a church and a school as well? That's pretty rare. So it was off to Somerset for lunch at the Rodwells' Regency vicarage, surrounded by tall dark trees dripping after heavy rain. Victorian in feel, the vicarage is a busy, multi-patterned place of striking interior design, full of Baroque furniture, re-used Church masonry, gilded plasterwork, clocks, candelabra, curiosities of all sorts. Warwick Rodwell, immensely relaxed and welcoming, tells me over sherry that he has been a collector most of his life, developing collector's luck at an early age. He points to a Roman glass jug he swopped as a schoolboy (probably for a couple of gobstoppers and a comic); a possible Minoan bronze bull's head he spotted in a box of junk; a pair of candlesticks that turned out to have been designed by Pugin . . . The list goes on. Most things in the house are from small-town auctions, junk-shops and skips - haunts of the enthusiast, not of the wealthy.

78. British Archaeology, No 21, February 1997: Obituary Obituary in British Archaeology February 1997 of the founder and head of the archaeology department, Queen s University, Belfast. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba21/ba21obit.html

British Archaeology , no 21, February 1997: Obituary Martyn Jope by Thomas McNeill Martyn Jope had three overlapping careers in archaeology, as a medievalist, in the Iron Age, and as a campaigner for the deployment of laboratory disciplines in the subject. In all three he achieved great distinction, recognised by professorships at two universities and fellowships of the British and Royal Irish Academies. His first achievements were as a medievalist, for he was one of two or three scholars who established the study of the period after 1066 as a core part of archaeology, with pioneering urban and rural excavations and a whole series of regional studies of pottery in the 1950s. He included the Middle Ages from the first in his courses at the Queen's University of Belfast, where he founded the department of which he was made professor in 1963. He worked to integrate science into archaeology, with the foundation of the Palaeoecology Centre at Belfast, and the Department of Archaeological Sciences at Bradford, where he was made visiting professor in 1974. He published a series of articles on the Iron Age, building towards a volume on the art of the British Isles. The archaeology of all periods in Ireland, and Ulster in particular, was changed totally by his standards, methods and breadth of vision. He was never a household name, even within the world of archaeology. This was because he never wanted to be and because of how he worked. His genius was to see the significance of a site or an object in its context and use it to explain the whole social world of those who made it or who paid for it. With people, he would show them their opportunity and leave them to make of it what they could. He would not interfere with them and he expected them not to interfere with him, unless they had an idea worth discussing. He refused to waste time on publicising himself on the conference circuit or elsewhere - he left that to his writings.

79. British Archaeology, No 4, May 1995: Obituary Obituary from British Archaeology May 1995 of the man who examined and recorded some 10,000 barrows. Keeper of Archaeology Bristol City Museum 1952-72. http://www.britarch.ac.uk/ba/ba4/ba4obit.html

ISSN 1357-4442 Editor: Simon Denison Issue no 4, May 1995 OBITUARY Leslie Grinsell by Paul Ashbee Leslie Grinsell, though an amateur archaeologist most of his life, to a great extent determined the direction of field archaeology in the second half of this century. He came to prehistory via the classification of flint implements, but soon turned to barrows, long and round. With rucksack, maps, notebook and tape, he had by 1941, when he produced The Bronze Age Round Barrows of Wessex , made inventories of Surrey, Sussex, Berkshire, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, scrutinising some 6,000 barrows. His widely acclaimed book The Ancient Burial Mounds of England , which outlined numbers, forms, and regional distributions, had been published in 1936. In 1941 he became a Pilot Officer in the Air Photographic Branch of the RAF. Posted to Egypt, his sparse spare time was devoted to a succinct account of the pyramids. After the war he left Barclays Bank, for whom he had worked as a bank clerk since 1925, and became the Devizes professional archaeologist, producing the magisterial gazeteer volume of the Victoria County History of Wiltshire . He was Treasurer of the Prehistoric Society from 1947-1970, and his financial skills secured its post-war reconstruction and rise to eminence.
