I have to admit-a bit snotty but some extremely valid points Creety!On the building issues, there are plenty of builders out there who would disagree with you.On the option of seeing heritage through the floor, I would argue that members of the public would also disagree with you.I never suggested that remains only admired by archaeologists should be preserved.The thrust of the opinions offered by the members of public in their newspaper correspondence rests on the simple concept:Why is it that when archaeologists have finished with their heritage- is there never anything left?We carry out the work in secret, passify a passionately interested public by offering idiot-guide open days and badly drafted press releases, destroy the finite resource in a competative environment then somehow transform archaeology into fantasy reports held in an office the public are unaware of.Creety-incorporating archaeology into new-builds is not "foolish".As an aside-I don`t squeal.Trust me on this.I`m not a Michelin tyre.
Glass floors is but one option.Don`t throw the concept away without offering alternative solutions.1man1desk has made it clear that some clients are keen to retain some archaeology in new builds.Developers are adept in the art of doing things on the cheap.They`re also adept at coming up with budgets for things that provide PR.Lets humour them-it`s what members of the public have asked for.
