Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The practice of field archaeology is altogether too unprofessional for present and future needs; even as carried out by state-aided bodies (with the notable exception of the OS Archaeology Division) it is inefficient, too dependent on individual whims, and lacking in cost-effectiveness, and much of that performed in recent years for the DoE has been of poor quality. A properly trained cadre of field archaeologists is needed, able to recognize the slightest of earthworks and competent in at least the simpler forms of historical and cartographic research. It is not enough to put unemployed excavators into the field. Only with a fully organized body of fieldworkers having its own career structure can we obtain the fast but accurate recording needed for a realistic information bank on which to base excavation policy. |
