The landscape architect's role in archaeological resource management in Britain
This thesis presents a case for the close involvement of landscape architects routinely in the conservation and presentation of archaeological sites in Britain. It is developed in five chapters. Chapter 1 defines the terms of study, and in particular, what is meant by <I>archaeological resources</I>, by <I>archaeological resource management</I>, and by <I>landscape</I>: it introduces the professions of archaeology and landscape architecture; it outlines the legislative framework relevant to archaeological conservation and preservation in Britain; and it concludes by describing the process of the study and its selection of the work of Colvin and Moggridge landscape architects as a main focus. The body of the thesis is a detailed archival study of three projects by Colvin and Moggridge, each involving the large scale in situ conservation and presentation of archaeological resources within a landscape. The projects are the White Horse of Uffington, the Brenig Reservoir, and Knole Park. Each of these is presented separately and consecutively in Chapters 2, 3 and 4. The concluding chapter reviews the success of the landscape architects in achieving solutions of best balance, and for discussion purposes a comparison
