Have just read the letter in Digger penned by Mr Neil Campling, the Principal arch of North Yorks Council.This bloke gets my curator of the year award! He has asked the people who do this for a living for their opinion!Now is`nt that something else! What better way of raising standards than to provide an open line of communication between professional curators and professional field archaeologists? Other than Tesser Jowel (wotever), the curator must accept overall responsibility for the archaeology in their juridiction and I raise a glass to Neil who clearly sees through the concept of an omnipotent and, innefective Institute.I think that in the spirit of reciprocity,we should all take part in the enrichment of our profession through the protection of our heritage by actively lancing muppets from curators lists.
