The only real problem i have with archaeologists is the digging and destruction, as there are so many ways of finding things out without all that destruction, and there will be even more in the future, we should stop now and leave them as much as we can, at least this would show we can collectively think ahead [to them and their new technologies] and not just about ourselves.


I think there are very few excavations these days (apart from development) as the thinking is exactly that - leave it for less destructive future techniques/technologies.


Is that not because there hands are full with all the stuff development wrecks, there was a archaeological company in Lincoln that was 100% busy recording all the things found by Lincoln's development, record and then you can destroy is the normal rule of thumb, as it has been for a while now, I hope your right though and if you are it's a slow change, saying one thing and doing something else if you ask me.
