With Dr Mike Nevell and brief glimpses of some members of STAG. I don’t recall knowing about a conference called DigNation ‘18, in memory of Mick Aston. Presentations from the event are available on YouTube. This one is good: Time Team’s Stewart Ainsworth on ‘How to see time in the landscape’. It’s about 45mins. Other presentations from DigNation also available. Current TV - ‘Digging for Britain’ on BBC4 - I watched the other day - a Special all about digs and discoveries relating to Anglo-Saxons. Half hour programme. News from The National Archives nationalarchives.gov.uk Check out the website for tips and research guides and their ‘Boredom Busters’.

MICHAEL HEREFORDSHIRE 1999 AN INTERIM STATEMENT (INCLUDING WORKS AT SCHEDULED ANCIENT MONUMENT 13693) Report prepared by KEITH RAY and TIM HOVERD HEREFORDSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGY REPORT 1 MARCH 2000 O copyright reserved. SUMMARY This Statement describes exploratory archaeological investigation of areas of the landscape between Sutton Walls hillfort and the river Lugg in the parish of Sutton St. Michael. The fieldwork included landscape and geophysical survey, together with limited archaeological excavations in three locations, between l l th and 15th October 1999. The project was designed to meet both research and conservation requirements, and to provide an arresting subject for a programe within Series 7 of Channel 4's Time Team. Its primary aim was to obtain information on the nature, status, survival, \condition and at least relative chronology of selected sites. These sites were located within :an area traditionally connected with King Ofla of Mercia, and in particular with a royal 'vill' or palace complex, used by his court when visiting Herefordshire. It was here, according to medieval Lives of St. Ethelbert, that Offa had this East Anglian king murdered in 794AD. A ite at Freen's Court, the location of a medieval and later manor, had assumed additional ir#ortance since 1990. This was due to parchmarks showing in grass there, that were recognisedfrom aerialphotography. These were thought to indicate the presence of the remains of structures identified from pq~alklselsewhere, as being those of an Anglo-Saxon palace.

Only in the 19th century did the general public come to identify archaeology with the excavation of valuable artefacts. In popular culture today – whether it is the pursuit by a virtual Lara Croft or a real Mick Aston on the Time Team television programme – the ultimate archaeological experience is presented as digging through and breaking open to discover the prize and solve the mystery. Reality, of course, is more complicated. The discovery of Tutankhamun or the Sutton Hoo treasure is no longer the primary aim. The understanding of the historic environment is again increasingly dependent on the survey and observation techniques that have evolved from 18th century roots. The merger in 1999 of the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHME) and English Heritage has provided an opportunity to combine different skills and traditions in survey and observation. Working with partners in local authorities, national parks, the National Trust, English Nature and other national agencies enables us both to address national strategic agendas and also to appreciate local and regional character.
