Retention... a sore subject just now!
If archaeology is to have a future... skills must be built on, people retained who have these skills, and skills utilised.
No point in having a digital recording system, with nobody to actually use it!
I am training in GPS survey in february.. and showing how to use it for advanced landscape survey.. these people can then utilise the skill.. and hopefully be prized by the group who employ them.
Training seems to be coming back into the thread again!
(I was counting up my time as well now... blinkin flip... 25 years .. yer, right.... I did not break! but I is sorely bent )
"I don't have an archaeological imagination.."
