One Minima to Rule them All

[Marc Berger]

Jack I have tried writing a so called heritage statement, they are pretty much meaningless. Give me a field evaluation and I will give you a guesstimate of excavation costs, that's it. There is no such thing as heritage in that evaluation its purely archaeology. Hers have very little do with archaeology other than to tell you if the areas been excavated before and if it has it's still probably cheaper for the client to do an evaluation than visit the her, that they might have a copy of the report is a bonuse but you could say that what's in them is purely academic. As you have pointed out elsewhere even though the evaluation said it was iron age it can still turn out to be anglosaxon? Was it the end of the world?

I would like to think tmsarch that you hear the about reality here on bajr first. If the curatorial system goes down which as you say has happened in some areas what should a field archaeologist do in that vacuum? What do you think of the future for museums or can curators impose any minimal pay rates?
