		<title>Diggers&#8217; Forum questions Institute for Archaeologists over salaries advertised in JIS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has come to Rescue&#8217;s attention that the Diggers&#8217; Forum (DF) has questioned the Institute for Archaeologists (IfA) over the levels of pay that they have advertised in their own Job Information Service (JIS). This electronic newsletter is a key resource for all those archaeologists looking for job vacancies in the UK.
The DF has grown increasingly concerned over the fact that
archaeological jobs have been advertised on the IfA JIS that do not appear to meet even the IfA minima
This follows concerns raised by the DF over the IfA Statement issued ...]]></description>

		<title>Changes to Planning Legislation and The Historic Environment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As RESCUE members will be aware, during  2009, the Government launched a draft of its proposed changes to the  archaeology and listed buildings’ planning policies documents. Currently,  these are dealt with separately by Planning Policy Guidance Notes 16  and 15 respectively. The Government consultation draft proposed an amalgamation  of these two documents into a single Historic Environment policy, PPS15.
The consultation received nearly 500  responses from a wide range of organisations. Recently, the chairmen  of the Select Committees of the Department of Culture, Media ...]]></description>

		<title>A private hobby at public cost</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the national press was trumpeting the discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard, the November/December2009 issue of British Archaeology was also reporting the financial problems the Royal Cornwall Museum encountered following its successful acquisition of an exceptional hoard of Bronze Age copper-alloy axes found in 2005. The finder and landowner shared a reward of £8,500, raised mainly by a donation from a charitable trust. The Royal Cornwall Museum meanwhile suffered funding cuts from the Museums Libraries and Archives Council resulting in the loss of 14 jobs, including that of the conservator. ...]]></description>

		<title>Follow-up to the Nighthawking Survey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On 18th November English Heritage organised a seminar at Burlington House on ‘Combating Nighthawking: Reducing the threat from illicit metal detecting’. The main aim was to report on various measures taken to follow up the suggestions of the ‘Nighthawking report’ and to give a voice to interested parties, particularly those who did not speak at the report launch in February 2009 (see RN 106).
The day was chaired by Professor Barry Cunliffe who stressed that the focus was on illegal and destructive metal detecting, one type of heritage crime, and not ...]]></description>

		<title>Metal Detecting and 10 years of the PAS: Some personal thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having spent a lot of time recording metal-detected objects in the 20 years before the arrival of the PAS I have a particular set of biases in the ongoing relationship between professional archaeologists and metal detector users. Some of my best friends are detector users, though many more are archaeologists…..
I remain certain agriculture is doing far more damage to archaeological sites than metal detecting. There is plenty of evidence for the devastation caused by constant ploughing, especially in the large fields with heavy machinery that have characterised successful arable farming ...]]></description>

		<title>Treasure-hunting in Scotland</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article, prompted by recent discoveries both in England and Scotland, is a synopsis of the current legislation is in Scotland and a personal view of some of the challenges. Suggesting what may help to improve the current situation to try to deal with the rogue detectorists and reward those who are doing a sterling job reporting and recording their finds.
I use the term treasure hunting as I believe it is the concept of treasure rather than the historical significance of the Prehistoric gold from Stirling or the Anglo Saxon ...]]></description>
