1- People who accidentally enrol to study the subject drop out in the first or second year any way.
2- Any one who studied archaeology may know that you can?t succeed in it unless you love it. And archaeology is not the history of this country or that, it the science it self, digging, inspecting, analysing and so on, so the argument of black and white does not work here, the only thing that is clear from our discussion is the lack of ethnic minority in this field of study which I think we need to address in the coming conference, and I don?t think we going to have thousand of ethnic minority graduate taking over British archaeology, do you?
3- leg11aug: What about the 21st century dear?
4- kevin wooldridge: thank you, your input was very useful. But the worry is not about being outdated culturally rather the fact that people don?t want to employ you when they see your name because of what all of you have said, they haven?t seen lots of ethic student in the class room and so they automatically assume you are foreign and don?t understand British archaeology.
And please forgive me but even the cows are not British so I don?t know why every one in a huff about a mere suggestion, Any way I learned a lot and I?ll do my best to get the paper ready for September.
(I don?t like to say I apologise but for those who think I stepped on their toes I do if I offended them unintentionally.
I do not agree with the argument of being ashamed of being British, because if you study archaeology you?ll know that many other countries were "Britain" at some stage during their history).
English is my third language so some tolerance please.
??The weird really get going
