If we cannot define what makes archaeology important even amongst our selves how can we expect the public to give it a second thought when faced with the current political mess . We have to sell ourselves to the public or go under. Given the choice between keeping the local care home or a listed building what would any sane person go for? People are worth more than heritage and that is the bottom line:face-stir:
If the general public value what we do then archaeology has a chance, something that is regarded as an exclusive club for a select band will alienate those who might otherwise support it.
