A session for the CIfA conference that we filmed. This one dealing with the local archaeology, for the conference:
Session Abstract
The venue for this year’s CIfA conference is also one of the region’s more interesting and important prehistoric monuments: an early Neolithic Causewayed Enclosure. This sits within a complex urban fringe landscape with a history of neglect in the closing years of the 20th-century. The HLF funded Whitehawk Camp Community Archaeology Project was consequently launched to improve local awareness of the site and its management. This case-study provides a platform for the wider exploration of how local partnerships enhance the appreciation and protection of ancient landscapes. Themes include
• how prehistoric sites become forgotten and suffer disproportionately within urban landscapes
• instances of working with local stakeholders to harness resources for environmental improvement in times of austerity
• the role of archaeological research and community archaeology in the protection of monuments
• how can we harmonise social, economic and wider environmental priorities with those of heritage management and
protection?
• is prehistory, and early prehistory properly dealt with in urban areas?
