From some of the quotes it seems that archaeologists aren't getting the message across of what important work they do, its shows the lack of knowledge of the general public. I think Time Team has brought your occupation more into the public eye... is there a way you can sort of cash in on this but still be a little distance from some of the practises.
Heritage organisations are all feeling the pinch due to cut backs be it the olympics or other excuses from local councils. I believe archeology needs to take more of a public role of education but not with the ... pointed finger Mr nasty attitude that some mentioning no names come across with.
I am all for heritage and recording its contents for future generations but I do wish that some people would open their eyes a little wider and see a lot of the positive work that is being done in various circles.
Education is the key and it will unlock the door to more public awareness, more money and more heritage saved.
Oooops... Just for fun...
Wish I had an ology.... remember that woman of the BT advert
