"Freedom of ideas is one thing, freedom of the purse is quite another". Edward Harris

I was sent a copy to review of this book, and after a good read I sat down to describe it to you..

Quote:quote:Archaeology is a Brand! The meaning of archaeology in contemporary popular culture by Cornelius Holtorf. Illustrated by Quentin Drew.

Quote:quote:Reviewing a book that was illustrated by an old friend from my past was worrying, where before I even opened the book I was willing it to be good, I need not have worried about this as the carefully researched, evenly balanced and well presented text of Cornelius Holtorf and the excellent cartoons, witty observations on the misconceptions and preconceptions of archaeology, illustrate the points being made. The addition of Flip to View Technology (buy the book to learn more) is a stroke of genius. However, to review a book properly, I feel I should stop gushing and look in more depth at the content.
We start off with an explanation as to why archaeology is interesting… sometimes we need reminded!

Please feel free to use this as a scratchpad to prepare a document followup to the petition...

only the best grammar please!

Recording OUR heritage for future generations.

Hi all,

I've just found that a petition was started by Andrena Crawford on the 10 Downing Street website to ask that Archaeologists are recognised as professionals and paid accordingly. The deadline for signing up is 4th July 2007. I know this is a topic close to all of our hearts and there are many out there working to try and improve the situation, but I figured a bit of extra publicity for our cause can never hurt and hope I will be forgiven for providing a link...

Morning all

well you may have noticed a small change in the look and content of the forum.. a small tweak here and there never goes amiss.

To help you know what is new, what to do... here goes a small description: (some icons will not be available (depends on whether you are logged in.. an admin etc)- but the basics are as follows

Next allows you to view and edit your own profile
If you have not registered to post.. theres the button to do it
Next tab shows only the topics that have changed since your last visit

Now it gets fun

Here you can Private Message members (PM) via the board

A new classified ads section come next.. letting you sell...buy.. offer services or look for help/equipment etc.. (and NO you can't post job adverts .. thats for BAJR main site !)
Then we have a personal fave... BAJR Radio... a growing file list of music.. (opens in a new window) sit back and enjoy.. relax even... browse in an atmosphere of soothing tunes. To move on either press ZAP or use the arrows at either end of the song list to move up and down.

Have any of you seen this today???

Quote:quote:It spends less on new acquisitions than almost any other major museum in the world and is currently £2 million in the red. Yet the British Museum has been able to find tens of thousands of pounds to send its 23-strong team of trustees and top managers on a series of foreign trips.

The museum, home to the Elgin marbles and the Rosetta Stone, has dispensed with the tradition of holding its annual meeting of trustees at its London headquarters and has instead begun holding them overseas.

A bit of a cheek probably but Im putting out a call for Troll! I recently lost my mobile phone and consequently all my phone numbers along with it. If anyone is in touch with TROLL can they please get him to get in touch with me. I have had my phone replaced and am still on the same number. Thanks for any help people.
