Page 3 or 6
Biographies – Elections 2004
Archaeological Resource Management theory and practice, particularly in recent years on the historic
landscape and its perception and management.
During his career, the theory and practice of Archaeological Resource Management has changed
significantly, and he has been able to work close to many of these changes, notably in the 1980s in
drafting the English Planning Policy for Archaeology which foreshadowed Malta, in the 1990s on
encouraging archaeological integration with other environmental conservation practice, in the context
of new ideas on sustainability, and in the last ten years on developing new approaches to holistic,
character-based, landscape-scale management. From 1995 Fairclough was head of EH’s Monuments
Protection Programme (a national review and designation project) and since 2002 he has been in
charge of EH’s Characterisation Team.
Fairclough has experience of working at European level in the Council of Europe on landscape since
1993, on EU-funded networks (particularly the Pathways to Cultural Landscape’ project), and on a
small but innovative international excavation project in Portugal. He has been a member of EAA for ten
years, and its conference is a standing entry in his work diary: he has given papers at all but two of the
conferences and co-organised two sessions on landscape in 1999 and 2000.
As a Board member he would try to support EAA in the four main directions which he sees as
among the central keys to EAA’s continued success:
 Making sure that the conference continues to be the annual foundation to the EAA’s
health and vitality
 Continuing to act as a forum for exchanging experience and expertise between
countries and regions
 Connecting archaeologists with related disciplines in the field of environmental and
landscape research and management
 Expanding EAA’s influence among decision-makers in the EU, the Council of Europe
and in national and regional government.
