Does archaeological work only get carried out nowadays as part of the development process?

0

It is true that an increasing proportion of archaeological work is spent on developer funded projects since the inception of PPG 16. However may local authorities, community groups and Universities carry out excavation purely for research purposes. Projects may be targeted towards sites which may be suffering from natural threats such as erosion. You can read about our rescue dig at Highcliffe Nab as an example of this kind of work. You can find details of our research projects such as Catcote and Foxrush Farm elsewhere on this web site.
