Quote:quote:Although there is a pub nearby - I'm not sure how good it iswithout local knowledge this is what happens. Camarc was ever a not anything. I donât think that it was ever a limited company. I think that it was a service provided by the wim of a county council. l I think within its education and museum budgets. Now it (rather the overlords) appear to still be attempting to maintain some of that virtual good name identity (apparent local knowledge not so good in the pub department) with the addition of East to the name Oxford arch, which as it does not seem to be registered as a separate trust is some kind of screen as its presumably regulated for tax purposes under oxford archaeology (?), a trust but a trust I think in symbiosis with Oxfordshire county council/university. The question could be why are oxford archaeology fighting against the economies of scale, stationary letter heads. advertising, (subscriptions to RAO status!). Is it a liability thing?
Coppergate was a dig run by a charity. York Archaeological Trust is an independent charity, founded in 1972 (registered as FRIENDS OF THE YORK ARCHAEOLOGICAL TRUST FOR EXCAVATION AND RESEARCH), which investigates the past for the benefit of present communities and future generations but now I get confused (me too) with YORK ARCHAEOLOGICAL TRUST FOR EXCAVATION AND RESEARCH LIMITED.
Hosty Is it alright if I just specialise professionally in the only digging holes bit, call it something like field archaeology, have an institute for itâ¦.You might like to ask for licence of my copyright. Donât let me stop you doing all the other types of archaeology, I am sure that they are very interesting.

blinking blimy hosty am I starting to get through. What is the difference hosty. You seem to suggest that a measure can be made.
Quote:quote:Would it be wrong to ask the proportion of charity work to commercial ?
What is charity work in archaeology so that I donât end up taking any away from the charities and can stick to digging?
