Crossing boundaries: commercial archaeology, museums and universities
Channel: Recording Archaeology
Date: 2017-05-31

There is a perceived need for improved communication and collaboration between finds archaeologists based in British commercial units, museums and university departments. Given this, how successful are we in crossing international boundaries within our own, separate sectors, and what can we learn from each other in this respect? Are we developing international methodologies and standards? Do we have examples of good practice in developing international projects and research, and what are the problems that such projects face? This review will provide a framework for the case studies presented in the session.
