CBA have indeed stuck their head above the parapet.. as has Colin Renfrew, as has BAJR as have many others.. many on BAJR have... but please do not confuse the CBA with Britarch... nor confuse BAJR with the comments on this Forum.
As to your remarks on the cost per find... absolutely... indeed you may have noticed that was exactly the point made on Britarch...
and when that question ws asked, those trying to use the blunt instrument of cost per find... were quickly silent...
as to asking here?
Well... as I already have a rough idea..(being a consultant) I was pretty damn sure that even IF it was just seen as 24 quid a find, this was actually STILL good value... the additional activities of PAS, the cost of photography, and reporting, and rsearch and ttravel (which if you had read my post you would see I commented on) cannot be summed up at take total cost of PAS.... Like so many organisations, it is just the tip of a large iceberg... and that said... even if it is as much as 24 quid a find that would actually be good value....
Some who would prefer to cut funding THEN look at what would be the best idea, are missing a couple of screws...
PAS is not alone though suffering cuts
80 million off Physics......
200 million of Arts Council....
this is a very bad decent into non-Kultchoor...
you don't often see money put back into it, and if you take the Arts Council example - in 3 years the Govt. could make a big thing about pumping an extra 100 million into the scheme... and still be less than it was today... cunning huh?
Govt... not out for the public?? Shurely Not?
I once again urge people to support the PAS. To sign the petition and to read carefully anything that is said... lest hasty conclusions are jumped to.
