Or, in our case, 85 miles to Glasgow or Edinburgh. At least in Scotland
most work is reported in the annual publication 'Discovery and
Excavation in Scotland'. That, and an annual data exchange with the
NMRS, means that we probably pick up 95%+ of the work undertaken within
the area,. Like other respondents, I'd hope to pick up anything else
through already established channels, rather than in national journals.
