well actually deadly, it is salient to the thread. some of the old lag advice offered on this forum, is often little more than flintstone narcissism designed to disuade anybody else from entering the profession. by not encouraging opportunity, training and experience, by not allowing diggers to undertake analysis and report writing, the indusrty stands to loose future generations of people who have something more to offer than bad back anecdotes. and if left to go unchallanged what would the archaeology industry be left with?
