Quote:quote:Originally posted by garybrunI asked about the UKDFD logo, I got no answer, I also asked about what the message of the film is besides if detectorists tell archaeologists where stuff comes from they can dig a hole there... but that is not the be all and end all of archaeology. I do not see the point of the NT bit at all, it does not relate to the rest. But then I heard that the film is not yet finished and so left it, assuming my questions (perfectly reasonable ones) would get answered when it was. No name-caling, just a question an archaeologist might ask anbout a film about archaeology posted for comment on an archaeological discussion forum. If it had been posted by the Chief Archaeologist in co-operation with Steven Spielberg, financed by the Minister of Culture I'd still have asked the same questions (and probably a few more). So are we discussing it, or are we waiting for gary to post the finished film?
If we are real honest Steve I think its got something do do with the name of the person who posted it. If it was made by a "responsible detectorist" you would have found there would have just been praise heaped upon it. Lets face it... anything that you or I post will be jumped upon by Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee no matter what it is a bout. I think the archaeological community need to do something about the bad apple and its worm.
