To be honest TileMan whilst I see issues regarding amateur involvement I think I'm right in saying that Thornborough means your suggestions are all the more salient and urgent. I suspect there are a lot of developers looking at Thornborough and wondering how best to avoid "pesky" archaeology from getting in the way of profits.
The next site is not going to be so simple I'm sure, and I'm aware that campaigns such as Thornborough are hardly going to save the majority of archaeology that is being lost innapropriately.
I hope that the current situation is able to galvanise a bit more momentum towards this than we have seen so far.
There are massive changes required in just about every area of archaeology. It is clear that the lack of discussion is not due to lack of need, more like a lack of faith that positive change can be affected.
