Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw
Mick Aston Archaeology Fund Supported by Historic England and Cadw Mick Aston’s passion for involving people in archaeology is reflected in the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund. His determination to make archaeology publicly accessible was realised through his teaching, work on Time Team, and advocating community projects. The Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is therefore intended to encourage voluntary effort in making original contributions to the study and care of the historic environment. Please note that the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund is currently open to applicants carrying out work in England and Wales only. Historic Scotland run a similar scheme for projects in Scotland and details can be found at: http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/index/heritage/grants/grants-voluntary-sector- funding.htm. How does the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund work? Voluntary groups and societies, but also individuals, are challenged to put forward proposals for innovative projects that will say something new about the history and archaeology of local surroundings, and thus inform their future care. Proposals will be judged by a panel on their intrinsic quality, and evidence of capacity to see them through successfully. What is the Mick Aston Archaeology Fund panel looking for? First and foremost, the panel is looking for original research. Awards can be to support new work, or to support the completion of research already in progress, for example by paying for a specific piece of analysis or equipment. Projects which work with young people or encourage their participation are especially encouraged. What can funding be used for? In principle, almost anything that is directly related to the actual undertaking of a project.

Yorkshire Archaeological Research Framework: Resource Assessment
Yorkshire Archaeological Research Framework: resource assessment A report prepared for the Yorkshire Archaeological Research Framework Forum and for English Heritage – project number 2936 RFRA S. Roskams and M. Whyman (Department of Archaeology, University of York) 2005 ABSTRACT This report represents the outcome of research undertaken into the archaeological resources of Yorkshire, using data gathered by SMRs, museums and commercial contractors. It describes the background to the project and its objectives, and the methods used to draw evidence from these diverse sources into a single database. It then proceeds to describe patterning in the data thus collected and collated, first at a general level across the region, then on a chronological basis from the Palaeolithic to Early Modern periods. In each period, the implications of this patterning for archaeological understanding of Yorkshire are drawn out.

The 'Golden Age' of Oxfordshire Archaeology, 1965–1980
The ‘Golden Age’ of Oxfordshire Archaeology, 1965–1980 James Bond and Trevor Rowley SUMMARY This article reflects upon on some aspects of the spectacular growth of archaeological activity which began in Oxfordshire during the late 1960s. This expansion was a response to the realisation that the survival of local archaeological sites was coming under threat on an unprecedented scale from motorway construction, urban redevelopment, suburban expansion, gravel extraction and intensive agriculture. Much was achieved through major organisational changes, initiated in what was then the Oxford City and County Museum and Oxford University’s Delegacy for Extra-Mural Studies. Major developments included both the training and mobilisation of a considerable volunteer force from the general public, and the creation of the Oxfordshire Archaeological Unit as a professional excavation team. In Oxfordshire as elsewhere, expansion was accompanied by important advances in the nature of archaeology itself, in particular its integration alongside other disciplines into landscape studies. The untimely death of Mick Aston in June 2013 robbed the archaeological community of one of its most colourful and influential characters.1 Mick spent the greater part of his working life in the West Country, but like the present authors he first learned his trade in Birmingham and the West Midlands. All three of us subsequently worked in Oxfordshire, Trevor Rowley from 1969 to the present, Mick Aston from 1970 to 1974, James Bond from 1974 to 1986. The late 1960s saw the dawn of a spectacular expansion of archaeological activity in the county, a time of great enthusiasm and strong commitment which some recent commentators have recalled fondly as the ‘golden age of Oxfordshire archaeology’.
