Theres the diggers forum and those involved in the diggers charter, theres those that travelled to the BAJR conference on standards in York. There are union reps and members.
What these need is support not a blanket "why isnt anyone doing anything?" this is pretty insulting to people like David and Chiz and all the others who work really hard!
What have you done? How does this thread help?
Nicely put! :face-approve:

It's not good enough to deplore the state of archaeology when we all have an individual and collective ability to do something about it, or at least contribute to doing something about it.
