 Iem� because our presentation shows how it can be done and how we can move forwards. I would just like to look at the theme Down in Manchester UK research frameworks. I'd just like to think about how we might extend those to Europe and in fact beyond on a worldwide canvas. My first slide is chosen for deliberate reasons because it's a picture of Slater's Mill in poor tucket which was built in the 18th century by Samuel Slater who's called in Belford example Belfmill in the Dirlwood Valley and sink of course to America and established mine which copied exactly the technology used in the Archv 가서 mill in the Dirlwood valley a better example of technology transfer or industrial espionage it you'll not find and point is if you want to understand the development of the industrial revolution in America I can't explain it without reference to England and in particular the Durham valley and more specifically Belpa. Belpa claim to fame. This reinforces a point made by Dan. We have a variety of research frameworks in the UK and I'll show you a sample. Top left we have an example of a topic-specific research framework in this case prehistoric ceramics dyl languageswyr Gyntgen yn talked right, we have some examples of regional research frameworks that the East Midlands, Historic Environment Research스 Remark and that is an inconspicuous framework that can address all aspects of the historic environment. We have sub-regional frameworks and we show that the Dermot Valley Mills World Heritagearlaise Research framework And for those of those who are if not familiar with the Dermot Valley Mills, it's just here.

Both Scotland and Wales have national research frameworks. England doesn't. It's starting from the bottom up, whereas in Wales and Scotland, they start from the top down. Perhaps the most interesting thing, actually, is this one here. It's the North Sea prehistory research and management framework. I like that it leads the way because it's a research framework that I've developed in England, the Netherlands and Belgium. A series of key themes which can only be understood by looking at either side of the continent. I'll come on to that, some of those themes in a moment. Many of the UK frameworks emphasise the wider European context and I'll give you one example, which is the Prehistoric Ceramics Research Group research framework. That's top right. One of the key themes is the organisation of production, distribution and exchange. One of the key purposes of that is to explore the ceramic interactions with the continent in earlier and later free history. It poses a number of key questions. I've shown, included, several here. Questions such as how can imported vessels help to define links within Britain and with continental Europe, for example, the earliest neolithic pottery, beaker pottery, late one says too early, iron age pottery. Is imported pottery common in a particular area or period? How does the varying occurrence of imported pottery relate to the changing intensity of contact between places over time? What are the social and economic mechanisms underlying the importation of pots? Difficult, let's just say. Finally, how does the distribution trade or exchange of pottery differ regionally? All of these issues require research across national boundaries and perhaps the classic example, it has a day all to itself in this conference, unfortunately it clashes with this particular session, beaker pottery, and in particular the implications of DNA in terms of movement of people, perhaps, rather than just pots, almost likely both. And it's created quite a splash DNA analysis, and that's in British archaeology, which shows the spare beaker pottery film, possibly an Iberian harp, and so it's quite appropriate for a Barcelona-based conference. And he'll be able to explain the examples of beakers. OK, and then my next example, before I end with a few concluding suggestions, is coming back to the Dermot Valley mills, because the textile industry in the Dermot Valley revolutionised mill design in the early to the mid 18th century. It also revolutionised working practices across Europe and the world. Textile factories in many countries of Europe, such as France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, and Russia were all based on the archrite model that was developed in the Dermot Valley. And we can see close links between sites such as Cromford mills in the Dermot Valley, and Rattigan in Germany, or between the Velper mills and Portucket, which I mentioned in my opening slide. And all these issues raised serious potential for working joined up research frameworks, which joined up the whole issue of industrialisation in the UK, continental mainland, and America, and also the Far East, because I'll come on too shortly. A couple of slides just to illustrate those themes. Bottom left you have Cromford mill, built by a sewage archrite in 1771, from 1799 to 1790. And that technology was transferred to Cromford, another site called Cromford, what's a surprise in Rattigan in Germany. Not only was the name transferred, but also the technology by a variety of other underhand and sneaky methods. And that was by Joseph Brugelman, who began production in 1784. He was a great example of the connection between Germany and England. And the Velper mill, as I mentioned, and here you see the north and east mills. North mill in 1804, east in 1912. And then you see the Slater mill in New England, which was, as I've mentioned before, the technology was brought to eastern Siebel by the school of migrants of December of Slater and Thomas Marshall. But we can go further than that, and we can look at worldwide connections in the Delwood Valley. It's a bit of a controversial subject, but the wealth of the Delwood Valley was based upon a common, which was grown in plantations principally in the New World, but also elsewhere, and employed slave labour. And, as you can see, we have quite a lot of documentary evidence for that practice. There are records in the dossier. Record records, for example, which give precise details of the tonnages of cotton that were produced in South America, Central America, and the southern states of the USA. And great opportunity there for looking at trading connections between these areas and the relationship between Britain and the slave trade, et cetera, et cetera. So lots of international themes which can be addressed by reference to the documentary evidence surviving in the mills of the UK. So the bottom one on the bottom left shows the origins of the more cotton supplies of the strut mills between 1793 and 1798, and that's based on cotton weight data which has kind of miraculously survived in the Derbyshire Record Office. But just to make the point that we can extend our interest even further, there are also links between cotton production in India, too. And we're having a variety of projects which have been looking at the links between Indian communities in the UK and the cotton industry. What are their responses to visiting the upright mills? Let me different to ours, I suspect. So this is one of the products, products of one of these projects which is a series of poems, reflections by members of the Hindu Samaj community in Sheffield. And it makes very interesting reading in terms of their perspective on the industrial revolution in Britain. So how can we move forward? I've got three bullet points when I've come up with a fourth after yesterday's climate change session that I was at. I think my feeling is that we can foster the development of international research frameworks. We can follow the lead of volume services, the North Sea joint framework, and which, of course, enabled a crucial collaboration in terms of understanding the development of Doggerland, that's now a submerge bloc of mainland Europe, which was a crucial repository of information both environmental and archaeological about the development of Mesolithic Europe. We can also, second point, support the development of updatable digital resources, and we will come on to discussion this afternoon about the common digital platform which is being developed in the UK. And, of course, it needs to say that any digital framework which we're based is therefore accessible globally, which helps. We can also encourage projects within international focus that investigate questions embedded in national or regional research frameworks. I'll give one example here, the site term with the rather curious acronym of Prothego, which I was involved in. It's one of these Horizon 2020 projects, and it basically was studying the impacts of geohazards and climate change upon European world heritage sites. The canvas was the entirety of Europe and the total population of world heritage sites. And it was based on four case studies, Roman Forum, the Alhambra of Spain, and near the settlement in Cyprus, and the most exciting of all, but there were many meals at the world heritage site. So, we were in luxury as a company, and the German value group was filming to be a twin with the Alhambra and Rome and the Roman Forum, just where they should be. So that's the sort of thing which I think should be encouraged. And one final point, which occurred to me very falsely yesterday, I went to the climate change session, which lasted the whole day session, and there's a workshop at the end of it. One of the actions of this group has been to establish a community with the EAA, basically an interest group, I suppose, with the climate change and heritage group. There are about a dozen of those on the EAA website if you search them, which I did this morning. And I wonder whether it's worth considering today whether we would like to think about a research framework community group, because that provides a European platform for this activity. The Climate Change and Heritage Group provides it as a platform for posting reports, publication, news on events, and that paralleling a big splash in burn in a year's time. And so that all fits together, I think, and it is a way, as a method for communicating research frameworks to people disseminating that and encouraging their application. So that's all I have to say. Thank you.
