Often an outsider sees what is bleeding obvious except to those doing it...........though not saying whoever is doing whatever is hidden in the coding is an outsider.
I've found public engagement taxing and rewarding. In my experience almost everybody is interested in archaeology to varying degrees. Remember archaeologists are also members of the public!
Unit, maybe you'd be surprised at who and how many of the public are fascinated about their past and how much they actually already know about it....it's not us and them.
Not even us, them and them over there (splitters).
The endpoint of all commercial archaeological findings, according to current guidelines, is after all the public. Be it packed in a box or buried in a grey literature report buried under some museum, or the rare few that make it to a journal....and/or increasingly as a link on a web page.
