No, No and No.
funding? funding!! - where do our taxes go?.... not i assure you to cloud cock-oo land (unless we are ""peace keeping there too.., or bailing them out,...or simply pissing it away in commercialized self-vanity projects)
A world we now can not help but see is full of Incompetents, Liars, Corruption,(... and worst of all Lobbyists!) with pervasive forms of power in commerce and government.
THIS is the reality of the world in which archaeology is done - and no, i am not satisfied with that.
Dont attack me Uo1 - look at the overall picture.
If a matter has gone through a planning process, it de facto becomes a matter of public record simply because the descions and evidences used by public servants are subject in various ways to scrutiny. [--- your comment about the land itself is truly daft, though conceptually interesting----]
More precisely - most projects are done with explicit understanding that records etc will be made public...non?oui?...
BAJR - please feel free to remove this post and the daft one it is response too - i think it obscures the serious pionts i was trying to make -
eg ""The other thing that I think that you will find is that museums arnt there for the good of the public either.""" oh.ok then. i must have missed something important.......
also what is ""chinies public"" and do i need to be afraid?
cheers Uo1
- BTW since when was metal detectorist a term of abuse? i work very productively with metal detectorists; and would rather be called one of them, than an Ass.
please post this message to Uo1, if both are sensibly deleted.
