Quote:Dinosaur...There was certainly a perception around the circuit in the late 80s that MSC was funding well over a half of British archaeology - anyone got any figures on expenditure still floating around or has all that sort of stuff long since been shredded?
There might well have been a lot of archaeologists employed through MSC in the late 80's but I doubt it would have constituted the 'majority' of funding for British archaeology - I think the Museum of London units, DUA and DGLA - employing well over 400 archaeologists during that period, mainly on developer funding, would have constituted a large proportion of the money coming into UK archaeology.....
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
