Some of your speakers work for, or represent organizations, who are complicit in the destruction of prehistoric sites, in Yorkshire at least. I'm aware of community archaeologists being so negligent that the destruction of entire prehistoric sites have occurred on Rombalds Moor in W.Yorks. The N.Yorks region (I think covered by Harrogate) has also allowed 'developers' to dig right thru certain prehistoric sites, damaging prehistoric cairns, settlement walling - and without any excavation work being done on the sites. So should these groups really be the right ones to present such continued destruction? Just a thought...

English Heritage are very much behind tackling Heritage Crime as defined by the Alliance to Reduce Crimes against Heritage (see http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/professional/advice/advice-by-topic/h eritage-crime/arch/).

In order to understand a bit more about metallurgy in occidental Europe, especially in Belgium (where I come from) and since you're working in the idea of a database of UK references, would you find any references in my field of reasearch ? I would be more than greatful to check your website or information about my subject. Best, Julien Biver, 1st Masters University of Li?ge PS: Would you be interested in any of the following websites : People I've been working with : About Archaeological references : Pr?histoire, Pal?olithique sup?rieur., (Pierre Noiret, Ulg, Early Paleolithic) http://www.archaeologyonline.org/ Cornwall archaeological site in the UK. The archaeologist, Jacqui Wood is the actual working archaeologist on Utzi Garnements, Would you be interested in Middle Paleolithic remains should you take interest in http://www.scladina.be/ where you can dig as an archaeologist Most archaeology students are welcome to discover the amazing site that is Scladina. Should you be more interested in a modern site Pont de Bonne and Modave (ask for connection) is one of the best place in Belgium . If any of you speak french and is interested in a dig in France Chantiers de fouilles archeologiques pour benevoles 2011 is the website to check (though the website I just gave you was from last year, just change the year in the webname) A lot of other sites ar available on the internet. They have nothing to do with the UK straight forward but they might show and teach us a lot like tanis - Tanis - San el-Hagar . if you're interested in Ancient Egypt.

To give one example when people advertise employment or volunteering opportunities etc. you also seem to contradict yourself a little by foregrounding the supposed importance of the 'PhD' while at the same time appearing to be having a snipe at 'academic' (mis)use of social media.

As you agree that I am spot on with my point I am unsure whether to pursue your further thoughts. Although I will point out that if I had thought the request to have been appropriate then I would not have sent the reply that I did. But then you covered that in the second half of your first sentence. As for having a snipe at 'academic' mis-use of social media (I presume this is because the original request was from a museum?), then I am well placed to do so. Having worked in a small, independent, museum where social media was not used on a regular basis, the detriment in their volume of visitors became quite evident. Of course, this then brings up the question of are the two linked? For that answer, we have to ask those that use it regularly around these parts to gauge an answer. Two examples that I can give are in the positive, they are The Newport Ship and The Caerleon 'Lost City' excavations. Both projects did not care why it worked but they understood that it did work.

And I personally appreciated seeing the responses as well. If I'm not interested such responses myself, it's very easy to just "delete". And the other posters were, in my opinion, quite correct that the various responses provided, in themselves, a form of data related to her query. Your research sounds interesting, Lorna. I did my own doctoral research, on the Internet and archaeology, before the days of facebook and twitter (or even blogs!). It was designed to study whether the internet could be a way to create a more democratic, relevant, multivocal and open archaeology. It was situated within the context of community archaeology and was eons ago, in Internet time. Even though the website I used for the analysis is still online (albeit pretty ancient and creaky by now!), I've been hoping to see someone update some of the questions I was asking, now that the new social media is so commonplace. Most of my data came from listserv postings, emails to me (my email address was on the website), participant observation, and responses to online questionaires. If you think any of the analysis would be useful, perhaps just to compare old and new, let me know (off list would probably be best!). Even though I did the research at a UK university, the fieldwork (and site) was located in the US. Best of luck in your research.
