Thanks for the "to" brutus.
Although I don't enjoy archaeology any more the niggling little legal niceties I cant see any other bigger picture. Here in England and wales the whole archaeology thing is predicated on "Copies of evidence should be deposited with the relevant Historic Environment Record, and any archives with a local museum or other public depository." where the public depository should have access to funds for the local authority who may provide and maintain museums and art galleries within its administrative area or elsewhere in England or Wales, and may do all such things as may be necessary or expedient for or in connection with the provision or maintenance thereof . A local authority may make a charge for admission to a museum or art gallery maintained by it under section 12 of this Act. In determining whether, and in what manner, to exercise its powers under this section in relation to a museum or gallery, a local authority shall take into account the need to secure that the museum or gallery plays its full part in the promotion of education in the area, and shall have particular regard to the interests of children and students.
A local authority maintaining [F23or proposing to provide] a museum or art gallery under section 12 of this Act may establish a fund to be used for the purchase of objects for exhibition in any museum or art gallery [F24which the authority maintains or proposes to provide under that section.]
Where at the time a fund is established by it under this section a local authority maintains under a local Act a fund which it is authorised to use for the purchase of such objects as aforesaid, [F25it may amalgamate the funds, but without prejudice to the effect of any condition attached to any particular gift received by the authority.] The provisions of Schedule 2 to this Act shall apply with respect to the management of a fund established by a local authority under this section.
Round my way it would be nice to have a museum that's all. And inside the museum I would have all my friends like the finds specialists to have curatorial pensions. Whats the little details like in tuition free Scotland hosty. Does your pot specialist have two part time jobs to just be able to survive and work out of their kitchen. Why should I a pay a non local museum to take my clients "donated" pottery when they don't have anybody there who knows what it is?
What the economics say is that I record the site, leave the objects on site and let the public depository pick them up and identify them if they want.
