This is so funny just has a MA seminar discussing this at UCL - there were two long time field archaeologists (me being one)within the group who had a very similar rant. Its interesting I was looking up the meaning of a profession and it is a career that combines theory, practice and approach and therefore as a profession archaeologists should be combining forces.
Field TAG would be a nice idea as maybe some idea of application might come into what academics discuss - Have you ever been to TAG? I hated it, was meant to go this past christmas but threw a sickie at last moment as could not face it.
I love thrashing stuff out in our seminars but always end up concluding that we could talk forever but archaeology would not exist at all if we did not just get out there and do it occasionally!
I love deadlines I love the whoosing noise they make as they pass you be! (Douglas Adams)
