TPO 16
The United Kingdom (sometimes referred to as Britain) has a long and rich history of human settlement. Traces of buildings, tools, and art can be found 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 serious 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 important sites but which left hundreds of other interesting 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.
The reading and the lecture both discuss archeological sites and artifacts in Great Britain While the reading states many problems faced archeologist in the twentieth century to discover old cultural artifacts, the lecture refutes each of the problems provided in the reading passage and states that in 1990 new rules and guidelines were established to improve the situation.
First of all, the reading states that during constructing projects in Great Britain many valuable artifacts were lost. According to the reading, builders more likely unearthed archeological valuable sites and continued forward with constructions without conserving the precious artifacts. On the other hand, the lecturer argues this point by stating according to the new guidelines, construction companies should first, examine the site for valuable artifacts, the next step is to excavate the site before they construct the building. Therefore, this solution aided to preserve the precious artifacts and prevented them to be lost while digging for building.
Second, the reading states that financial and monetary support for archeological research projects was not enough. According to the professor, the government has funded a few important research sites and left most of the interesting sites undiscovered. In addition, changing government priorities cited a period of fund reduction. However, the professor casts doubt on this claim by saying that according to the new guidelines, the government would not be responsible to fund the archeological sites, but the contracting companies. First, the construction company must study the artifacts carefully and the next step is to fund the project and that is unlike the practice in the past. Therefore, this solution challenges the second problem in the reading passage.
Third, the reading states that it was arduous to find and have a career in archeology. Furthermore, many people who were interested to become archeologist ended up changing to other careers and volunteering to help in archeological sites as unpaid work due to the limitation this career positions. Nevertheless, the professor challenges this point by stating that lots of paid work and opportunities were provided. First, archeologists were needed to examine the valuable artifacts. Second, to estimate the site. Finally, to enter the data and write an article about the artifacts. Therefore, again this solution argues the third problem mentioned in the reading passage.
