Quote:quote: I found what appeared to be a spot-on article entitled Private Sector Archaeology(Part of the Problem or Part of the Solution?)- I've found that I have to pay $25 to see it. Since when did it become ok for knowledge (or rather access to it) to have a price? Should eveything have a price?
You could always try finding it in a library, lots of university ones have subscriptions for online resources. Is it about the American private secotr, in any case?
I'm all for profit; making a profit is what a professional company is supposed to do. The question is what to do with the profit, which really depends on how the company is structured and run. making profit gives the stability for all the things mentioned by the host and geodan. My partner's company has quarterly profit-based bonuses,though not much last quarter, as there was little profit.
It is worth noting that at least one archaology company, LG, is a co-operative.
