Hi Steven
"Do you also believe in the discard of artefacts? Do you believe that the paper archive from excavations should be recycled? Or do you think that as excavation only takes place as a last resort and is preservation by record that all information should be properly curated as the price today's society pays for archaeological intervention?

Do you also believe in the discard of artefacts? No.
Do you believe that the paper archive from excavations should be recycled? No - it should be digitised and put online for all to see and use.
Or do you think that as excavation only takes place as a last resort and is preservation by record that all information should be properly curated as the price today's society pays for archaeological intervention? Definately.
Could you tell me how these answers exclude the notion of responsible reburial?
