Challenges in conducting public engagement in commercial archaeology in the UK.

[Unitof1]

It's about the vast number who are interested in archaeology and the past. And the fact that the public have a right to know about their past. Much like your signature says

there you lot go again start off by saying that it is a vast number who are interested and then nicely round it up to the public. The thing about celebrity and football is that the government does not rip taxes off you to then spend on forcing you to watch celebrities or football (although they do like to be associated with no doubt). No one would claim that football was demanded by the public they would instead claim that some of the public like football and that was alright because they were willing to pay for the football. I kind of imagine that if anybody was to claim that a vast number of the public was interested in football they would only be doing it to claim some political advantage. I don't believe that there is a vast number of the public who are interested in the past or by what significance the interest of those that do is. Yes its not very interesting is it.
