Greetings all. I did post something along the following lines a while ago so at the risk of repeating meself here goes...
Field archaeologists work in some of the most extreme conditions and environments. If a company wants a field test and ultimately a thumbs-up for their product, get archaeologists to try them out! What sexier way could there be to market your kit than to have it endorsed by archaeologists? Sponsorship/advertising deals could go a long way towards filling gaps left by naff curators and unscrupulous consultancies! Watches, boots, waterproofs, H/S gear, surveying gear, mobile phones, 4 wheel drives, cameras, site offices, the list is endless. Are we missing an obvious opportunity here? :face-thinks:
..knowledge without action is insanity and action without knowledge is vanity..(imam ghazali,ayyuhal-walad)
