The cost of preserving our heritage
How history is being 'rescued' before the developers move in.
We visit an archaeological dig and meet the heritage consultants who ‘rescue history’ before the developers move in.
In wealthy countries, these consultants are paid in advance, and this has led to a growing industry. In lower income countries that’s not the case – so what’s happening there?
Plus - we look at how the very definition of heritage is fundamentally shifting.
