Agree entirely Kevin. It might sound a bit grand but I honestly do believe that archaeology (and allied heritage endeavours) should be playing a more formal and integrated role in society. Just what is the point of trying to understand past societies if our contemporary one doesn`t benefit from our "hindsight"? To be a bit flippant- what is the point of forcing people into citizenship classes when the vast majority of "indigenous" (here we go again...) Brits struggle with an imposed/perceived or given national identity? Forests of grey literature lounge about in plastic covers and vast collections of artefacts choke museum storerooms. An enormous social tool is just sitting there waiting for someone to get it out to the community.
