The work on a Research Framework for the Archaeology of the
Extractive Industries (Mining and Quarrying) in England is now
entering its second phase - the development of a Research Agenda. We
are arranging seminars to present a summary of the findings from the
Resource Assessment (phase one) and discuss the results. We want to
hear your comments and we need to hear your opinions about the
directions for future research.
The seminars are free to anyone wishing to attend and the dates are as follows:
Saturday 21st January 2012 at the National Coal Mining Museum,
Caphouse Colliery, Wakefield, WF4 4RH. Starting at 1030 for 1100.
Saturday 11th February 2012 at Sidcot School, Winscombe, North
Somerset, BS25 1PD. Starting at 1030 for 1100.
At each seminar, Jon Humble, Senior National Minerals Adviser &
Inspector of Ancient Monuments at English Heritage will speak about
the National context of the legacy of mineral extraction. We will
also include presentations about some of the work on the Assessments.
Following a buffet lunch, we will facilitate group discussions about
the results of the assessments and the possible directions for future research.
WE NEED YOUR COMMENTS AND OPINIONS!
We need you to read the assessments, which are being posted to the
National Association of Mining History Organisations (NAMHO) web-site
www.namho.org , comment on their content and express opinions in
advance of seminars. Please send any comments to Phil Newman, the
Project Officer. You can also send comments by post (address in
