Trouble is we have run out of time, I have spent years trying to make archaeology relevant to the public and in the part of the country I work in so have many others. Some battles have been won but all too many have been lost and the creeping erosion of our heritage services is now undoing all the good work. By the time the public wake up to what is going on we will have lost an awful lot that could/should have been saved. To me this is a far more important issue than the ins and outs of what the IFA has or has not done for archaeologists or whether a charted organisation is a good or bad thing (I have given up caring)
What do archaeologists matter if the Government of the day and the general public don't give a ....... .... about heritage?
