Rescue – The British Archaeological Trust is a charitable organisation in the United Kingdom.
It was founded in 1971 as a pressure group by a team including the archaeologists Margaret Ursula Jones,[1] Phillip A. Barker,[2] and Martin Biddle.
[3] The Trust campaigns for government funds to permit the excavation of archaeological sites in advance of road-building, construction or other development.
Specific actions include opposing the planned tunnel near the site of Stonehenge, proposed in 2017, claiming that it could threaten the site's UNESCO heritage status,[4] and criticising the use of metal detectors to discover items of cultural significance.
