BMAPA/EH Protocol Awareness Programme English Heritage funded Wessex Archaeology, through the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF), to conduct the BMAPA/EH Protocol Awareness programme during 2006 and 2007. The programme comprised:

• Visits to wharves and vessels;

• 3 regional workshops on the recognition of finds and their potential importance for Nominated Contacts, Site Champions and wharf staff as well as local and County Archaeologists;

• A pilot newsletter;

• A remote learning package on DVD.

The project was a great success, and details can be downloaded below:

As a result, English Heritage, again through the ALSF, has commissioned an extension to the Awareness programme through to February 2008. The scheme will include further site visits, including to wharves on the continent that receive UK aggregate. Two more editions of the newsletter have been approved, as has another DVD package and a further industry workshop will also be held in Salisbury in September 2007.
