THE UK made history by leaving the European Union. Now Brexit threatens the archaeology work that links us to our past as experts are blocked by red tape, it is claimed. Until January, Scottish commercial archaeology firms routinely recruited experts from the EU to work on excavations and other projects. Now red tape has made it too hard for many firms to bring in overseas talent. And, with the closure announced this week of one leading UK university archaeology department, it’s feared that the sector’s recruitment problems are about to get worse. The University of Sheffield plans to shutter its archaeology school and merge some of its activities with other departments. Many of its graduates are now in senior positions in Scotland and its work includes the excavation of Sheffield Castle, where Mary, Queen of Scots was once held, and at Cladh Hallan in South Uist, where Bronze Age mummies and ruins give tantalising clues about our ancient past.
