Agreed Kevin, the archaeology is the most important factor here - but it cannot speak for itself, however much it might speak to us archaeologists who respect and (strive to) understand it. I see from Mike Heyworth's CBA tweet today that he is meeting the Heritage Minister (Penrose) along with reps from ALGAO, IfA and FAME. We should all be sending them expressions of our support and goodwill, whatever the concerns we might have with the differences of focus of each of the four groups. I hope that they will communicate with all of us, and not just their memberships, as quickly and efficiently as possible the results of this meeting, in detail, so that we can all do what you suggest, Kevin, and get behind an overt, concerted national campaign.
