Purpose

Ancient monuments constitute the main resource for the investigations of archaeologists, and are also a widely valued part of the cultural heritage. This Knowledge Builder outlines the concerns and activities of archaeologists, and serves as an introduction for planners to the ways in which care and conservation of ancient monuments relate to mainstream planning policies and procedures.

Benefits

Pressures for development and redevelopment, spurred by increased standards of living and technological change, are threatening the survival of the physical record of man’s past activities, in both town and country. These records, or monuments, have an inherent value in researching and communicating our history, and hence helping to understand who we are.
