I completely agree. I don't intend to become a 'heritage asset' until I have been buried (complete with flint tools on top of a hill).
But wouldn't it be nice to be included in just a little bit of 'modern' legislation, not just a cobbled together combination of Acts of Parliament. PPG16 has changed the face of archaeology since it was conceived and must surely be modernised, although obviousy I am seriously underestimating how long it takes to progress such revisions through out legislative system.
I am a relatively young archaeologist, been around a few years, but I fear I could still be waiting for such changes when I am long in the tooth and body-broken.
