Dare I suggest it but the 'figurehead' for a campaign should surely be the archaeology itself...in all its myriad forms. And rather than 'buck-passing' to a figurehead personality, isn't this exactly the time when every archaeologist should be getting involved in some form of campaign to protect and enhance what we have, be that as professional archaeologists worried about our careers or about the prospects for archaeology in our academies of higher education or for our public bodies and organisations working for archaeology? Sure we might all be going down with the Titanic.... but I always wanted to give maritime archaeology a shot!!
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
