Let's be honest and face the fact that a lot of archaeology done over here is %$!&, for a variety of reasons. British contract archaeology is riddled with muppetry and cowboys and it is depressing. Antiquarianism is alive and well in Britain, its spiritual and ancestral home. I am reminded of this everytime someone machines something out and says "It's OK. We'll get it in section." Or when a supervisor dictates what goes on the context sheets and rubs the bits out that don't fit with their interpretation.

Careful, it might be hallucinogEeEe**33nnnn..
