Pagans for Archaeology: A Dissenter graveyard
http://archaeopagans.blogspot.com/2012/03/dissenter-graveyard.html
Friday, 9 March 2012. In Manchester, there is a defunct Unitarian church, and next to it a graveyard where many Unitarians and their dissenting predecessors are buried. Asda want to build a car-park on it. A local group, Friends of Swinton Unitarian. Has been formed to protest the loss of this piece of heritage. I thought this whole issue was rather illuminating of the issues around ancient 'pagan' burials. How this is different from reburying ancient 'pagan' burials. The graves are still in situ. Thanks...

Pagans for Archaeology: Faith heritage trails
http://archaeopagans.blogspot.com/2011/05/faith-heritage-trails.html
Sunday, 8 May 2011. Many different faiths and cultures have made a mark on Britain, and this should be celebrated. Today I visited the amazing Hindu mandir in Neasden. Which was very beautiful. But there are many places associated with different faiths. The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies is gathering a Hindu archive. Which explores Hindu influence in Britain and beyond. Hindu heritage sites include The Maharajah's Well in Berkhire. The tomb of Rammohun Roy in Bristol. And the Chattri near Brighton.

Pagans for Archaeology: Cultural continuity?
http://archaeopagans.blogspot.com/2012/01/cultural-continuity.html
Saturday, 28 January 2012. People from other religions, and occasionally archaeologists, refer to contemporary Pagans as "neopagans". I personally find this condescending. I have outlined the reasons for this before, in a blogpost entitled " Stop calling us NeoPagans. I am not saying that there is cultural continuity between contemporary Pagans and ancient "pagans" (who did not self-identify as pagan - the term was applied to them by the early Christians). Presumably also in Blood and Mistletoe. Informat...

Thursday, 16 April 2009. Interview with Emma Restall Orr. PfA: What is your role in HAD? ERO: In many ways my role is simply one of co-ordinator, receiving requests or queries and passing them on to those whose expertise or location is more appropriate to the situation. On another level, as founder and the volunteer who has been working longest in the organisation, I am the one who deals primarily with core issues - consultations, conferences and so on - rather than local issues. What we stand for. Why w...

Pagans for Archaeology: Aggregates Levy will no longer fund archaeology & environment

Thursday, 17 March 2011. Aggregates Levy will no longer fund archaeology and environment.
