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.
Both the reading and listening materials discuss the British science of archaeology. The reading, to be more specific, claims that this profession is facing multiple drawbacks in Britain. On the contrary, the professor holds a different idea and states that archaeology science has been exposed to more advantages then ever before.
The reading begins by reasoning that the loss of various valuable artifacts due to contruction projects is one of the obstacle that this profession is facing. This is challenged by the lecturer, who feels strong that contructions projects do not interfere with the many aritifacts found. He further explains that all contruction sites have to be examined by archaeologist beforehand, thus the findings are either preserved or carefully documented.
The reading then points out that the inadequate financial supports from the goverment also affect the developmemt of archaeology. The professor, in contrast, asserts that all the researchs and examination are paid by the contruction company. He supports this idea by mentioning an increase in the number of artifacts found.
The reading finishes by arguing that it is difficult to pursue the archaelogy profession. The lecturer runs against this idea stating the numerous related jobs that have been available in the recent years. Indeed, many small aspects of archaeology have developed in to different jobs, making it easier for people to pursue a professional career.
