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 lecturer challenges the topic proposed in the reading that the science of archaeology was faced with serious problems and limitations in britain. And she thinks that new laws was published in 1990 to change all fields of archaeology in three ways.
First, the article suggests that many valuable artifacts were lost to construction projects. However, the professor points out that the site must be examined by archaeologists about interests before any construction projects. Then the local builders and archaeologists would gather together to decide a plan to document and preserve the artifacts before the construction proceeds.
Second, the essay supposes that the financial support for archaeological research was inadequate. But the lecturer considers that archaeologists are paid by construction company rather than the government. After the initial examination of the site, archaeologists are paid by the company and finally researchers are allowed to do research much further in the past.
Third, the passage indicates that it was difficult to have a career in archaeology. Nevertheless, the professor argues that some paid works occur more before and replete all stages of research processes. People would decide a plan and analyze the data. The jobs provided in britain was higher than before.
