you and me both, it's far too easy to do! Back on topic, Mike Heaton has written and presented some very interesting stuff about the way we should be funding/charging for archaeology, although in his own words "but no amount of proselytising seems to make any difference. I'm still a nutter as far as the 'establishment' is concerned" But that's ok, the same applies to me and Chris. There seems to be a growing number of us 'nutters' out there. Check out Mike's paper - [SIZE=2]'W(h)ither the Profession II: The economic, legal and organisational context of successful commercial archaeology' (Paper given at Annual Conference of the Institute of Field Archaeologists, Swansea University, 18-20 March 2008). [SIZE=3]It's very good stuff, and was greeted by the IfA with their usual reaction to such things, which was to put their hands over their ears and go "la-la-la-la-la-la-can't-hear-you"[/SIZE][/SIZE]
