This is a history of archaeological endeavour in Norfolk set within
a national context. It covers the writer's early experiences as a
volunteer, the rise of field archaeology as a profession and
efforts to conserve the archaeological heritage against the tide of
destruction prevalent in the countryside up to the 1980s when there
was not even a right of access to record sites before they were
lost. Now developers often have to pay for an excavation before
they can obtain planning consent. The book features progress with
archaeology conservation as well as the growth of rescue
archaeology as a profession both in towns and in the countryside.
Many of the most important discoveries made by aerial photography,
rescue excavations and metal detecting from the 1970s onwards are
illustrated. The last section covers the recent growth of the
Norfolk Archaeological Trust as an owner of some of the most iconic
rural sites in Norfolk. The book concludes with a discussion of
some issues facing British field archaeology today.
