you're missing my point...look...notice the ads for jobs...they are., of late, top heavy in 'management' positions... 'heritage liason', 'finds liason', 'contract manager' 'geomatician' and theres more. Companies are top-heavy in management and admin and low on appreciating what a good field worker can do. Supervisors running teams are ignored, county monitoe=rs really appear to know very little and only accept 'interpretations' about stuff they are already familiar with....educating 'the public' is ok and all that stuff, but in the end it all comes back to under valued field work, from people who have years of experience and have excavated stuff which doesnt fit in with out dated paradigms of what was happening in 'The Past'....stuff like 'A history of the world....' on BBC doesnt really help either as 'the public' see archaeologists as 'superiour' ytpes, who can tell them what stuff means, rather than showing that all interpretations of past societies are dependant on the values of the present cultures we live in...anyway...like i#ver said before, a l;ot of you just dont seem to get it at all...ok. Do your thing and then in 5 years time, see how many jobs there are for experienced field workers and how much we will be paid....
the fact that rthese threads are still running, long after i, for one, have lost interest, shows that these issues are important and valuable and important to discuss...back to me chickens! and i still havent got me fox yet...Vulpes...you are possibly more strange than i am...i can send you the number of a good anger management counsellor...
