Cash to reveal moors secrets
Whitby Gazette
A £27,000 funding boost is to be used to help document the archaeological recording and research of sites unearthed following the Fylingdales Moor fire in September 2003.
The £26,900 project, which is being funded by English Heritage, will also be used to produce advice on lessons learnt from the fire and subsequent restoration projects as well as guidance on disaster planning for moorland environments which contain historic sites.
It will be managed by the North York Moors National Park Authority and Blaise Vyner, an experienced local archaeologist and private consultant who has been involved in the site since the initial post-fire archaeological survey, will carry out the project.

Is there a British Chalcolithic?
People, Place and Polity in the later Third Millenium BC
Friday 18th - Sunday 20th April 2008
A major international conference organised by the Prehistoric Society and Bournemouth University Centre for Archaeology, Anthropology and Heritage
This conference will address the concept of the Chalcolithic in British archaeology. Our continental colleagues have long used the term to augment their three-age system. Why has the term not been adopted so universally in Britain and Ireland? Is it relevant to our islands? Or is it a misnomer?
