TPO-16 - Integrated Writing Task
The United Kingdom (sometimes referred to as Britain) has a long and rich history of human settlement. Traces of buildings, tools, and art can the from periods going back many thousands of years: from the Stone Age, through the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the time of the Roman colonization, the Middle Ages, up to the beginnings of the industrial age. Yet for most of the twentieth century, the science of archaeology,dedicated to uncovering and studying old cultural artifacts,was faced with the problems and limitations in Britain.
First, many valuable artifacts were lost to construction projects. The growth of Britain's population, especially from the 1950s on, spurred a lot of new construction in British cities, towns, and villages. While digging foundations for new buildings, the builders often uncovered archaeologically valuable sites.Usually, however, they proceeded with the construction and did not preserve the artifacts. Many archaeologically precious artifacts were therefore destroyed.
Second, many archaeologists felt that the financial support for archaeological research was inadequate. For most of the twentieth century, archaeology was funded mostly through government funds and grants, which allowed archaeologists to investigate a handful of the most only remained sites but which left hundreds of other the projects without support. Furthermore, changing government priorities brought about periodic reductions in funding.
Third, it was difficult to have a career in archaeology. Archaeology jobs were to be found at universities or with a few government agencies, but there were never many positions available. Many people who wanted to become archaeologists ended up pursuing other careers and contributing to archaeological research only as unpaid amateurs.
In the article the author talked, the United Kingdom has a rich archaeological history but due to the hardship of situation archaeologists was facing serious problems to find historical artifacts. But the speaker told that it has been changed since the United Kingdom introduced its new rule in 1990.
In the first paragraph, the author told that due to increase in population especially in 1950, new construction had begun in Britain. Due to unplanned construction in the archaeological sites, many artifacts had been destroyed. The speaker adds new information that, as per new rule, now before the construction, the cite has to be examined by archaeologists, and if any valuable artifacts found the construction has to be stopped. The construction could be continued in the different area or around the place, so that, no harm could not be done to the artifacts during construction. Archaeologists, builder, and local government decide how to preserve them.
The author introduced another problem that is due to limited funding from the government archaeologist was forced to research only in certain places. And moreover, with time the funding reduced. Now, the speaker told that, due to the new rule, if any artifacts found at the construction site, the research has to be funded by the builder company. Due to sufficient fund now archaeologists can invest more time in research and they have got more advanced scientific tools.
The third problem that the author introduced that, because of the scarcity of paid jobs archaeologists had been forced to choose another carrier and they only remained as unpaid armatures. But, the speaker told that now, as per the new rule archaeologists get sufficient money and settle paid job and the carrier is booming now like never before.
