I kind of agree Unit. I have always been uneasy about the public money going to the PAS, when archaeological records and finds get no direct public funding, as far as I know, for their long term care. Not that I think the PAS money should be stopped - far from it - but I think that records and finds from provenanced, stratified locations and with associations should take precedent. I sometimes think that, as far as the politicians are concerned, money to PAS equals "job done, thank you, and you archaeologists can stop bothering us for more!!!".
