I don't think the curators are necessarily a problem.
I think its a matter of a guidline for thought on how to respond given certain circumstances.
If we look at it in too hardliner a way, then we waste resources in some areas and won't capitalise in others.
I think, we should think about what kind of archaeology provide us with the most kind of complex archaeological data?
Then about what kind of archaeology best characterises a general mindset of attitude and then add to this what fall outside the bell shape curve of an areas character.
These are both curatorial in natire but then we have to think about the function and implimentation of this kind of work.
For the function:
What areas of edutainment can we harness to communicate with the youth as well as the average joe.
For implementation:
With this in mind, what kind of prioritisation could we expect from local papers, in relation to what they think sells and creates a community interst in any given topic (i.e. their experience).
How fast can the ciriculum alter to, or have us prioritise to in the form a discussion basis with information to capitalise on.
How connected with local developers be, in relation to their benifits, from financing any possible aid they could offer.
And then how do the work loads effect each of these in relaion to co-ordination on this kin d of work in addition to their already growing work loads.
This is multifacetted and can't simply be placed on the curators as they have already been attempting to do this kind of work for years and now they see their resources dwindling and us asking for more.

My daughter went to school on Tuesday with a batch of flints to show her friends. Today's show and tell involved a local hand axe from deposits c. 500,000 years old. Little things, but able to convey information and garner interest (or they just confirm that her dad's a geek [:o)]).
