ABSTRACT
In this Chapter the aim is to throw light onto the complexities of financing development projects where two broad matters need to be considered, the costs of development and the raising of finance. Archaeological costs, where relevant and connected with evaluation and excavation, are included under the former. They are, however, looked at within the wider context of project costs and development grants so that, hopefully, a better appreciation of the overall factors and cost elements can be obtained. This is followed by an examination of where money for development may come from. Here, sources of finance, the practical problems associated with obtaining finance and the concerns of the parties involved in providing or receiving money for development, form the main areas of concern.
