When digging on a golf course nr Sheffield....
'Have you found any Roman golf balls yet then?'
I do agree, Time Team and other good works have improved the level of knowledge of the general public hugely - I remember being at school and people kept thinking I was off to be an architect over my summer hols! :face-confused:
But ... not many people seem to know about the whole planning process, polluter pays, commercial aspect of archaeology that we are all so familar with.
Any ideas of how to get that information across to joe public? I was pretty impressed with the Time Team special that was on a few years ago that focused on commercial archaeology in Sheffield, its advantages, problems etc... perhaps a few more tv programs like this would help?
