Well this has all been very interesting. A bit like being shouted at by strangers, but interesting none the less. I posted on here to add members to the site, which we've done, and hopefully recruit some people that would add some content, which only time will tell. However we've become locked into an arguement about the validity of the project, and seem to have reached an empass. Obviously I think there's something valid here or I wouldn't be doing it. For those that can't see any merit in it? Fair enough.
I've certainly learnt a few things from this discussion and will be amending the site to reflect some of those over the next few weeks. Clearly there is a need for a greater seperation between the humour and the genuine discussion. We should also have to address the issue that we are discussing multiple different aspects of archaeology in a presently amorphous and freeform way. Whilst we may get what we're on about, will other people if it is so chaotic? With some work it should be possible to provide more focused strands of discussion. Having been forced to think much harder about it through these discussions I think I can see perhaps 7 related topics and maybe we will focus on one at a time for now, until we have something a bit more developed. It's early days for the group and we are still learning what we mean by 'sensible archaeology', learning how to express it, and learning how serious we are about being sensible.
For now though,
