The United Kingdom (Sometime 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 reduction 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 as an amateur
The reading passage and the lecture are about British archaeology.More specifically, in the passage, the writer identifies three problems from the study.The lecturer is quick to outline the measures to resolve these troubles.
First and foremost, the author of the reading states that large numbers of works of art have been destroyed by the construction projects, thereby rendering archaeology unsearchable.The lecturer stands in firm opposition to this notion.He states that the program requires inspection of the construction site, and if there are relics, it must be preserved so the artwork can be stirred.
Secondly, the writer feels that archaeology has long been supported by government financial support ,which has resulted into only a few important relics being, and a large number of relics have not been studied, and a government financial support has been reduced from time resulting in money archaeology.Again, the speaker addresses the point when he states the program requires the construction company to bear the full cost of inspecting and maintaining the remains, so it provides a new source of funding for the archaeology community.
Finally the author brings his argument to close by suggesting that there are few professional job opportunities in the archaeology field, which has led many professionals to choose other jobs or participate in archaeology has an amateur.Not surprisingly, the lecturer rebutted this claim by contending that the programs has created many jobs, so there are more professionals.
