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. pc
