Dana Goodburn-Brown (CSI: Sittingbourne
Project, UK)
Conservation as a retail opportunity
Goodburn-Brown discusses the original motivations, operational logistics, and
issues of long term sustainability for the shopping mall conservation project,
CSI: Sittingbourne. This is an archaeological conservation partnership, which
originated following the unexpected discovery of a large high status 6th-7th
century Anglo-Saxon cemetery in Kent, England. The paper presents views on how
the project fits into a niche within the changing role of town centre shopping
precincts - providing an interesting, participatory, social and educational
venue for the community. It also discusses how the project partners worked
together to create an innovative exhibition and conservation facility to
conserve the 2,500 grave finds.
