Rescue AGM 2013: The archive storage crisis (27th April, Woking)

[Unitof1]

but melord Prentice puts my position so well:

an archaeologist is best placed to determine what and how our cultural heritage and historic environment is managed for the nation/world/community - future generations

Probably where I most differ from all you nationalists is that I think that archaeologis is done for the curiosity of the individual-the archaelogist. I dont see that "archaeology" belongs or is of any interest to everybody whoever lived where ever or to what fantasy nation you currently think that you belong to or is paying for your existance. Where the archaeologist SHOULD be finding currency is finding/exploiting the curiosity of others not producing crap for nationalists.

could you just clarify how your fantasy future without local government and national archaeologists, hers, museums, curators, archives would get you any more work that you are currently getting?

Next you will saying that I invented local government and national archaeologists, hers, museums, curators, archives so that I could find work. I dont think that I have ever said do away with these-apart from Historic environment "advisors". Museums- pay me, local gov, buy what you want, national govs sell the elgin marbles to the highest bidder if you so please.
