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.
In the lecture, the professor states that in 1999, new guidelines and role were applied to improve the science if archaeology. This information directly contradicts facts presented in the reading which states that archaeology field faced countless amount of limitations.
To begin with, the speaker states that the new policy worked in favor of saving archaeologically valuable sites. In fact, construction projects has to be examined first by expert in order to see if the construction sites have a great value. Thus, if the site is valuable workers cannot proceed constructing. In contrast, the reading states that many artifacts were destroyed due to the hub hazard construction projects.
In addition, the professor claims that after conducting the new policy archaeological field started to receive an adequate financial support. This is because companies have to pay for the initial inspection not by the legal officials. Therefore, the sufficient funding allowed scholars to do more research. On the other hand, the reading states that many of archaeological research were not receiving am appropriate fund from the government.
Finally, the lecturer explains how the available of positions has increased from the past years. Indeed, archaeologist these days are involved in every step of the process, from the first step of inspection to the final step of data gathering. Therefore, many positions were available for archaeologist. However, the reading stresses that it was difficult to find a job.
