anyone know of any decent illustrated publications or websites on these beasties?[?]

might be worth restarting the old league table of units-give praise where due but may also be good resource for curators wanting an inside view into the units on their lists.......any praises for units/curators/consultants anyone?

Anyone else getting constant threats from these people regardless of whether unemployed or earning above their changing thresholds?Sick of demands from them when poor? Ingoings and outgoing forms etc? Solicitor interested in supporting people sick of harassment.}

Looking for anyone interested in Thornborgh (Yorkshire) area Mesolithic Neolithic stuff....

How does Britain fair when compared to other nations` treatment of commercial archaeology?What other models are there? A County Curator carried out a similar analysis a year or two ago and despite requests, seems to be keeping the results close to his chest.Has anyone else carried out such research?

does anyone know where I can get hold of drawing clamps to stop my field drawings blowing away,I used to be able to get them over here (in holland) but i can not find them anymore....any suggestions ta!

As it appears that commercial archaeology is still doomed to be on the wrong end of the "compromise", its about time we saw the industry in a different light. If we are to be embedded in a capitalist environment where cheap (and often destructive) units win the day, surely the way to raise standards would be to tender on the basis of quality-not on the basis of a reputation for compromise.Effective legislation would be nice... people in the job have brought standards up over and over again in the past. Those that set standards and recommend professionals on those standards, should police them.Effectively.Top to bottom, curators, consultancies, directors and diggers.

a spot of realism and an idea-IFA don`t represent archaeology or archaeologists.Neither do Prospect cos they`re in bed with the IFA.We`ve been bangin on for years about muppets destroying the nation`s heritage and, after streams of forum entries, endless letters to the "grown-ups" and even to the Gods themselves in the house of lords-nothing.Absoluetly-nothing.The IFA do nothing because they`re not forced to.Incompetent units and individuals change nothing because they too, are not forced to.Here`s an idea.A new website.One where horror stories with pictures tell the story.The public own heritage.Let them see some reality archaeology-we`ve all seen more than enough!Change comes about when issues are taken to the people that matter.Explain to them that their pride in their nation and its history is actively being misinterpreted at best-annihalated at worst.Our own industry has selective hearing-lets quadruple the volume.}

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could advise on where i could find archaeological work abroad. I am looking at doing some backpacking around the world and would like to do some digging as i travelled. I'm not interested in field schools or the like, more voluntry or paid work. I'm at the very early stages of planning so am interested in hearing about any web sites that may advertise such oppertunities or if anyone knows of any other avenues to search, or indeed of any work!

Does anyone know where I can buy Permatrace (Waterproof draughting film) .... in Australia? Preferably New South Wales and not too far from Newcastle or Sydney. [Phew! It's hot over here just now. Time for a cold beer on the beach. (Sorry, couldn't resist). But Christmas is a very different experience over here, isn't it!?].
Thanks in [u]hopeful</u> anticipation! [:p][8D]:face-approve:[:I][8D]
