I may be a lone voice here, but......is there a case for commercial units forging closer ties with universities, to provide that aspect of vocational training that universities appear 'reluctant' to involve in and at the same time returning archaeology to some vestige of academic principle. I just have the feeling that if archaeological practice and academia become totally detached neither archaeology nor archaeologists will benefit in the long run.......(I agree I am prejudiced. I work for a University, I am currently completing my Masters I LIKE UNIVERSITIES!! I even like students!!)
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
