contrary to shovelnomores negative opinion my aspirations for archaeology in Britain are HIGH ! im sure i speak for the majority who have had enough of dull PPG 16 projects often undertaken with the knowledge that nothing will be found. How will we ever add to our knowledge and broaden interpretations if everything is preserved in situ, surely that is not a low aspiration !! The comment about low paid diggers is very negative, and as we all know this issue is being addressed albeit slowly, there are digging jobs out there !!
