Quote:The apathy is endemic, and rather dissapointingly so is the 'them and us' attitude which still seems to be crippling the ability of archaeologists to unite. I think the IfA is as good a banner as any to do this under as it is what you make of it.
Well said, if sadly too true.
I myself am just about burned out from all the work BAJR has done over the past 12 years. and with some few exceptions, it has been alone. some people have helped greatly, others just complain that BAJR does not do enough. Or for every step forward (often the build up is never seen - nor do I like to make public any success - rather it just appears as if by magic or is credited elsewhere) there are those that leap onto any mistake. People seem to love to complain, but rare are those that help make it better.
I do believe that BAJRites have made a great difference.. by having views aired in public - by making it relevant... so lets hope we can do something with the future as the grains of sand start the final decent through the egg timer of archaeology
