I have been asked to write something for Current Archaeology on the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and have a quite a bit of material already. But I am wondering. Is anyone aware of any interesting diamond jubilee memorials, actual or anticipated; are there any contemporary archaeologies of the Jubilee or of the Queen's sixty year reign; has anyone studied any previous royal jubilees from an archaeological or material culture perspective; any other less-obvious royal connections with archaeology from this period (eg. I have Round Tower fire, Time Tam at the Palace, Honours and QAPs etc, oh and Johnny Rotten!)?
Thanks.
John
