Dr Wardle, why are you so resistant to guide prices? You ask who will set them, why not all of the below? Why can there not be a proper discussion with all elements of field archaeology, from those at the coal face to those in the offices? Where people can sit down and thrash out decent price guidelines. As Badger points out, they do not have to be set in stone, but with a very basic guideline clients and ourselves would be starting, at least, from the same place.
Right, on to Trolls thread:
Yes, i agree wholeheartedly that we need to raise our profile in the media and public, it is their heritage after all. A decent concerted campaign would be incredibly helpful, especially considering the spending review for Dept of Sport Leisure and Culture. However, i did only tick the maybe-depending box, as I feel that this is something we should not dash into all guns blazing. I feel we really need a well thoughout campaign, with no corners cut (a common practice in our field unfortunately) and all our bases covered. As Dr Wardle points out, we do not want this to backfire on us.
But YES, count me in!! And Shorty, you maybe out knight in shining armour - no pressure there then!!
the future's bright; the future's trowel shaped
