APPAG report met with deafening silence!
The long awaited All
Party Parliamentary
Archaeology Group (APPAG) report has
been met with a deafening silence from
organisations responsible for archaeology.
The report, entitled 'The Current State of
Archaeology in the United Kingdom,' was
published over a month ago .... so why no official responses??

The Walls of Ninevah - Northern Iraq ... How well will they withstand
a US Missile? How will they defend the civillians of Iraq. A
cause for concern ! David Connolly of BAJR was actually in Iraq
prior to the last war and despairs at what now happens. |

Job cuts at Stafford and Birmingham
Ironically,
just when APPAG is recommending greater regionalisation of units
and more outreach work, a local unit with an excellent record
of involving the community is being shut down and
Birmingham University Field Archaeology Unit may have cuts in
staff of up to 25%
