Re: Julian Richards gives his view on the tunnel

Here's a paper from Birmingham University following a workshop about the cultural "value" versus the "economic" value of archaeological sites (it doesn't suggest the answers, but does cover the problem of applying economic values to heritage):

"Economics lacks a capacity to understand and evaluate the heritage as a cultural phenomenon. At the same time, the cultural approach to heritage lacks a language in which to express the values the heritage holds. By working together such a language can be developed to the mutual benefit of both: for economists, to gain an insight into a phenomenon effectively opaque to them; for students of heritage studies, to communicate effectively the nature of the phenomenon we struggle to describe."
