I f there was a referendum on such things most of the people on this
list would be out of a job as many in the public see us as
over-educated, self satisfied leaches frittering their tax dollars on
luxury projects. A touch of populism if it explains anything of why
archaeology is important or interesting does no harm especially in the
current economic climate. Remember hundreds of sites are currently -this
minute- being bulldozed, plowed (American sp?) out or dug with
inadequate budgets and resources all over the planet.
