The Valetta Convention and preventive archaeology in the UK: from policy to practice
The preventive sector in the UK has been criticised for its strict rules over preservation by record, which restrict research and remove public participation from standard practice. In recent years however, there has been recognition of the need to acknowledge the societal context for preventive work, which often takes place hidden from view on projects that can be unpopular with local communities. Archaeologists are starting to think about our obligation to the public, and this paper will discuss how we might best draw the intentions of the Valetta and Faro Conventions into our projects to create legacy and provide social value.
