Development-led archaeology in Northwest Europe - Leo Webley

Many countries in northern Europe have seen a huge expansion in development-led archaeology over the past few decades.
Legislation, frameworks for heritage management and codes of practice have developed along similar but different lines. The Valetta
Convention has had considerable impact on spatial planning and new
legislation on archaeological heritage management within EC countries as well
as on the funding, nature and distribution of archaeological
fieldwork. For the first time these 12 papers bring together data on developer-led archaeology in Britain, Ireland, France, the Low Countries, Germany and Denmark in order to review and evaluate
key common issues relating to organisation, practice, legal
frameworks and quality management.
