Well, is it really "rational" or "efficient" or strictly ideological? With
the french and some of the german states I argue the same case: strict gov't
control doesn't make sense given some of the strictures on hiring/firing
civil servants and responding to investors' desire to have some kind of
choice in who they contract out to -

Subject: Re: Agency Archaeologists Job Cuts
Since this thread is finally cooling off, I hesitate to weigh in, but...
Among my own archaeological colleagues in the greater Washington DC area it
is the military that is one of the biggest clients, even as private
contractors. I can think of several projects off hand - at Aberdeen Proving
Ground in Maryland, Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and even Vieques Island in
Puerto Rico. In fact, I thought the federal agencies were all hiring their
own archaeologists in the last 15 years (or so) precisely BECAUSE they were
paying so much for outsourced archaeology. Which calls into question the
rationales behind both the current job review action and this entire thread
of discussion. --Tom
