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 and contributing to archaeological research only as unpaid amateurs.
The reading and the lecture argues about studies of old cultural artifacts which has faced many hurdles and limitations in Britain. however, the professor refutes the reading and explains that in 1990 new norms has developed in the United Kingdom, which has improved all the area of problems.
First of all, the author of the reading claims that most precious artifacts have lost during the construction process. It is pointed out that builders frequently lose valuable sites. In contrast, the speaker rebuts this claim by explaining that before any construction can start, the site has to be examined by the archaeologist in order to find if the site is of any interest to archaeology. Followed by the local construction builder can preserve the artifacts and document. This explains how valuable artifact was not destroyed.
Next, the writer contends that financial aid to archaeological research was not sufficient. It is mentioned in the article that for many years the government has supported the funds, but later left hundreds of interesting projects without any support. On the other hand, the lecturer posits this claim by saying that for any upcoming construction has to be a paid service by the construction company itself for the site examination, process, and preservation of the artifacts. This, in fact, was a whole new norm to raise the fund which allowed to the vast research study. This again shows how funding supported.
Finally, the author mentions that finding occupation in archaeology field was difficult. It is mentioned in the article that archaeology job was found with very few government sectors, in-fact they were no vacancy. However, the lecturer contradicts this statement and mentions that archaeologist was paid workers in a different area. For example, expert to examine the site, process the field, research, scientific data record, process data, write report and articles. Furthermore, the speaker says that there has been increasing in the archaeology field in British, now it is the higest ever been.
