always good to hear of companies surviving. Shouldn't we be asking the question of what happens to the post-excavation and reports of units that have collapsed????
Financially, I guess the collapse of the company suggests no further money is available for post-ex
Intellectually, I guess that with all the best will in the world, the collapse of the company suggests no further money is available for post-ex and who will work for nothing.
We don't have a regualatory system in the UK where archaeologists can be forced to account for personal and/or corporate backlogs. (Discuss!!)
This is financial chicken and intellectual egg coming home to roost to the place where turkeys aint gonna be looking forward to Christmas.
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
That way, if an organisation goes bust! there is still money in the pot....
seems like a good idea to me :face-thinks:
