Hei Tom....I am kind of playing Devils Advocate really....it does intrigue me that archaeologists are broadly classified as lying within an environmentally friendly camp, but we rarely ever register a protest, if the end result is likely to result in a lost 'archaeological' opportunity. I just wondered if there are still any archaeologists out there who would consider themselves also as 'eco-warriors'.....My own personal archaeological conscience on such matters doesn't stand up to very much interrogation, I worked on HS1 the London-Channel Tunnel link, on Jubilee Line sites in London and on various road schemes both in UK and abroad....so I don't occupy the moral high ground. Just making enquiries on behalf of Satan.....
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
