The main idea of both the passage and the lecture is about serious dilemma limitation front of archaeology science. In this line of thought, the reading states that the limitation occurs in Britain and adduce some reasons for this way of thinking. The lecturer, on the other hand, casts doubt on all the three episodes of arguments mentioned in the passage, believing that none of these strategies are practical and lead to the real world. In the rest of the passage, some comparisons between them are provided.
First of all, the reading and the listening materials talk about many valuable artifacts were lost to construction projects. The author explains that while digging foundations for new buildings, the builders often uncovered archaeologically valuable sites. On the contrary, the lecturer believes that before starting the constructing, the archaeologist must examine the plan and the land around the construction’s site. Therefore, it is the cause of archaeologists can excavate and document the buildings’ evidence properly before the plan start.
Second, both the text and the talk discuss many archaeologists felt that the financial support for archaeological research was inadequate. The author points out that 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. Therefore, the author elaborates that changing authority priorities brought about periodic rebates in funding. However, the lecturer notes that the archaeologists are funded by Construction Company. Planner companies have to pay to archaeologists for examination the sites. These companies are enough moneyed to other archaeological researchers can do their research project. This was another place where experience contradicted the theory.
Eventually, it was difficult to have a career in archaeology which is discussed by both the passage and the lecture. The author mentions that Archaeology jobs were to be found at universities or with a few authority agencies, but there were never many positions available. Hence, the author suggests that many people who wanted to become archaeologists ended up pursuing other careers and contributing to archaeological research only as unpaid amateurs. The lecturer rebuts this argument. The lecturer states that there are many job opportunities in the constructing building’s process that archaeologists can do. For example, the first opportunity is archaeological interest value which must do in the first stage of the process. Also, archaeologists can work in the preservation, served, data gathering, and writing paper parts of in each building process. Therefore, there are many works for expertise archaeologists in this field. This opinion directly contradicts the passage presented and making it infeasible.
Sum up, although the passage provides some reasons to belittle archaeological opportunities, the lecture opposes about the effectiveness and possibility of those reasons.
