 The Tankerton copperas works and the copperas industry in the south of England
In the light of this the Canterbury Archaeological Trust was commissioned to undertake a programme of excavation and recording in advance of the destruction of the remains.

Both documentary and archaeological sources indicate that the two earliest copperas works were situated on the coastal plain to the north of Tankerton Slopes and were lost to marine encroachment within fifty years.

 The Rise of the Archaeological Consulting Industry in Ontario
Now archaeology, and specifically the conservation of archaeological resources within a development context, is a high profile component of the heritage landscape, loaded with economic, social and political ramifications that impinge on the interests of a much wider sector of society than that of the archaeological community.
Co-operation between academic archaeologists and the consultant industry, for example, is greatly needed, both in terms of ensuring findings from the consultant's work are available for detailed research, and in terms of educating and training the next generation of Ontario archaeologists about the activity most of them will be involved in.
Improvements by consultant archaeologists towards professionalising their industry, as well as improvements by the entire archaeological community in the areas of co-operation, communication and co-management, are necessary in order to respond to the changing face of archaeology in Ontario.

 Industrial archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Industrial archaeology concerns itself with the physical remains of industry.
The study is a multi-disciplinary one encompassing engineering, architecture, economics and social aspects of manufacturing/ extractive industry as well as the transport and utilities sector.
However, as the timeframe of study is relatively recent, industrial archaeology is well placed to develop on the basis of more reliable and absolute recording of its past, present and future than other areas or archaeological interest.

 Seismic Issues 05:2002 EXPLORER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The geophysical industry is actively participating in research programs to better identify the impact of air-gun arrays on marine mammals -- IAGC members, for example, have committed to fund a seismic vessel for an MMS led research project this summer in the Gulf of Mexico.
The geophysical industry is facing a host of environmental and safety issues that could significantly impact the bottom line of seismic operations -- and in some cases hamper access to certain regions of the world.
Also, industry officials are attending BLM meetings and visiting district and state BLM directors and Department of the Interior officials to explain how seismic crews operate -- and the minimal environmental impact of these crews.

 Canadian Archaeological Association
This has, of course, contributed to the rise of a consulting archaeological industry, currently the future source of employment for most archaeologists coming out of universities across the country.
Likewise, the fairly constant complaints from individuals within the archaeological community itself accusing government that their programs have failed to do enough (to stop “bad” archaeology and “bad” archaeologists), or that government programs should do less (to stop interfering with “good” archaeology and “good” archaeologists), also increases the profile of archaeology in government.
Curiously, though, while these demands question the archaeological community’s exclusive ownership to the resource, I think it also may provide a relevancy to government initiatives to conserve archaeology and make it a legitimate responsibility of society that more directly responds to the challenges of the development sector and political core.
