Hi SalonKitty,
A good introduction to the problems facing field archaeology is found in the report produced by the All Party Parliamentary Archaeology Group (known as APPAG) http://www.sal.org.uk/appag/report/report.htm
Not everyone agrees with all of their findings in detail, but I think the issues they raise are generally accepted.
I too am sceptical about writing to MPs, but I suppose that the one thing MPs really care about is votes. Archaeology is popular and has an impact well beyond the ranks of field archaeologists, so they might think there are a few votes in it.
