Certainly sounds like they're fully committed to preserving and celebrating their heritage! Seriously, I'm sure their conservation officer is great as a conservation officer, but to expect him / her to provide archaeological advice and maintain the SMR while still acting as a conservation officer as well is just unrealistic. If I was paranoid, I'd say that they'll set some sort of unrealistic target, then when the conservation officer can't meet it because they're doing the work of three people, they'll use it as an excuse to sack him / her.
You know Marcus. He once got lost in his own museum
