hmmmm, not convinced.Much like expecting justice when complaining about the actions of the police.And who are the police complaints committee? Yep.The police.Sorry-does`nt sit well.Curators have to be ultimately responsible and thats it.Curators and contractors in the same bed is asking for trouble in my opinion.Seen it before where contractors continually use the same "consultants" regardless of crass incompetence.As an aside, I find it interesting that when we become archaeologists, somehow in terms of client confidentiality-we cease to be "members of the public". This group of people seem to be held at arms length to avoid any unpleasentness.I applaud the bajr hotline endeavour and see good things ahead however-to be the harbinger of doom for a second-bollox! I am still a member of the public and am becoming increasingly tempted to expose wanton acts of carnage into the public arena as a last resort.We are still trying to do things on our own, cowering from the threat of legal action or otherwise.This is how dominant but farcical ideologies win every time.
