Dino may well use the archive with the defence that the copyrights of the diggers automatically passed to the “employer” and he is back to requiring permissions from the employer.
The truth is that I am not sure that when I worked for any unit that copyright was mentioned in the contracts. Possibly because the default was that the copyright rested with the employers. Let me say that for a first level that all “archaeological” digger contracts should specifically say that the digger will not retain any copyright produced in the course of the employment.

I think copyright is important for the definition of an “archaeologist”. Archaeologists produce copyright in the context sheet from unique observations made in the act of discovering and then destroying the context that cannot be made by anybody else. Or can it? The Southport mentality see archaeology as something that can be done by volnuteers, by the community, by big sociaty. And they dont mention how the copyright works for them. By missing out the copyright they can get to talk about
