	Sussex Industrial Archaeolgical Society - Newsletter - SIASG 4
		Increasing geographical mobility in society, coupled with developments in domestic trade and commerce in the 17th and 18th centuries, put pressures on a parish-based road system which was both haphazardly organised and poorly maintained.
		What is interesting from the archaeological point of view is that these several roads between St. Leonards and Hastings and the Kent border show turnpike road construction at its most highly developed and ambitious in the county - deep cuttings and high embankments with brick-arched over bridges taking minor roads over the main routes.
		Archaeological remains are few, being confined to ponds, water channels, some buildings now converted to other uses - particularly at Powdermill House - and an occasional grinding stone, which at some two tons each were too heavy to move far away.

		In this paper, I argue that county archaeological society museums were creating and presenting prehistoric narratives through the preservation, research and communication of prehistoric archaeological objects in museums.
		Lower, as Secretary of the Sussex Archaeological Society, was informed that a flint-digger had found a "British urn twelve inches in height and containing the burnt bones of a human body" upon opening up a tumulus at Mount Harry.
		The society members were at first targeting the prehistoric narratives amongst themselves and the learned, but through the popular nature of the permanent buildings such as the castles, they started to cater for a wider audience.
