 RESCUE > INFORMATION

Today and tomorrow are built on yesterday
The past is the foundation for the future
It is all around us and beneath our feet
It belongs to all of us

It is fragile and cannot be replaced

The landscape and townscape that we know today is the result of many thousands of years of interaction between people and resources. In any period, any activity which disturbs the ground is likely to destroy evidence that has gone before. This means that the archaeological remains which survive are very incomplete.

The scale and pace of destruction today is so great that the need to recover and record archaeological information is more urgent than ever before. Unless we act now our archaeological past will never be understood.
RESCUE, the British Archaeological Trust, is a registered charity and an independent organisation committed to the protection, conservation, recording and interpretation of archaeological evidence - often the only evidence - of ALL our pasts.


RESCUE, The British Archaeological Trust, is an independent charitable organisation with no ties to government or to any other public body.

RESCUE acts to promote archaeology's interests in Britain, and seeks to maintain the position of archaeology as a vital part of our nation's cultural life.
