Interesting? Not really, thanks for that helpful kick Martin mate... I must be doing something wrong because I see what I do as ridding the sie of its archaeology as cheaply and speedily as possible, while creating a past that wasn't there before! His list of examples of what the purpose of archaeology is (other than the broad notion that it 'to find out about the past' - I'll remember to quote that in my next report) is about a unhelpfully lofty as it is possible to be. We can't all be explaining the very fundamentals of human existance/history etc but we can be adding a little bit at a time. I suspect that people like him only see the big picture when its drawn on a massive canvas. Sorry, just felt the need to say something negative to stay positive.
