环境部 (DoE) 下属的古代古迹监察局 (IAM) 正在提议对救援发掘的组织进行重大改革，这已经是一个公开的秘密。 1973年2月22日，面纱的一角被揭开；在五月底撰写本文时，结构的形状已经相当清晰；六月的某个时候，我们可能会期待一场盛大的揭幕仪式。与此同时，已经采取措施实施这些建议，尽管能源部以外的任何考古学家都没有看到有关新计划的论文。尽管这种保密性会带来不确定性，但《古代》的读者应该收到五月底出现的对该计划的批判性描述，这似乎是合理的。毫无疑问，官方公告将尽早出现在这些页面的其他位置，并且其中的事实陈述必须被视为取代此处的类似陈述。
It is by now an open secret that the Inspectorate of Ancient Monuments (IAM) of the Department of the Environment (DoE) is proposing dramatic changes in the organization of rescue excavations. A corner of the veil was lifted on 22 February 1973; at the time of writing, at the end of May, the shape of the structure is tolerably clear; and sometime in June we may expect a grand unveiling ceremony. Meanwhile steps are already being taken to implement the proposals, although no paper on the new scheme has been seen by any archaeologist outside DoE. Despite the uncertainties which arise from this secrecy, it seems reasonable that readers of ANTIQUITY should receive a critical account of the scheme as it appears at the end of May. Doubtless the official announcement will appear elsewhere in these pages at the earliest possible date, and statements of fact in that must be taken as superseding similar statements here.
