Bradley, R. (2006) Bridging the two cultures. Commercial archaeology and the study of prehistoric Britain. Antiquaries Journal, 86. pp. 1-13. ISSN 1758-5309 doi: 10.1017/S0003581500000032

Abstract/Summary

This paper was given at a meeting of the Society held on 12 January 2006 and it discusses the relationship between academic research and developer-funded archaeology in Britain today, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each. It considers the relationship between archaeological theory and practice and discusses the changing roles of academics, fieldworkers and managers. It argues that important issues need to be resolved, including the dissemination of information from recent archaeological fieldwork and the use of ‘grey literature’ in informing more ambitious interpretations of the past.
