New CADW guidelines (ISBN 978 1 85760 267 8) set out a rigorous code of best practice which should see the archaeologically worthless activities of the so-called "aviation archaeologists" pretty much stopped in Wales. Nice work, CADW!
The guidelines basically require excavation to be carried out in a professional manner, in accordance with the archaeologist's code of conduct, standard and guidance for archaeological excavation.
JCBs will not be featuring in future excavations.
They also intend to enforce preservation in-situ of nationally important sites, and the scheduling of crash sites as ancient monuments.
Amateur hour is over, boyos! And not a moment too soon.
