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.
Listening
In 1990, new rules and guidelines were adopted in United Kingdom and that had changed the whole feel of Archaeology in that country. The new guidelines improved the situation in all 3 areas discussed in the passage. First, the new guidelines state that before any construction project can start, the construction site has to be examined by archaeologists to see whether
the site is of archaeological interest or value. If the site is of archaeological interest, the next step is for the builders, archaeologists and local government officials to get together and make a plan for preserving the archaeological artifacts, either by building around them or by excavating a document in them properly before the construction is allowed to proceed.
Second, an important part of new guidelines is the rule that any archaeological work done on the construction site will be paid for by the construction company not by the government. The construction company has to pay for the initial examination of the site, and then for all the work carried out under the preservation plan. This is whole new source of financial support. The funding from the construction company has allowed researchers to study a far great range of
archaeological sites than they could in past. Last, the new guidelines provide a lot of paid work for archaeologists, work that didn’t exist before. Expert archaeologists are now hired all stage of the process to examine the site for archaeological value, then have to drop the preservation plan to do the researcher and professional scientific manner and finally to process the data and write reports and articles. The increased job career opportunities in Archaeology have increased the number professional archaeologists in Britain which is now the highest it’s ever been.
The article and the lecture are both about archaeology problems and new guidelines for archaeologists. The author of reading feels that archaeology dedicated to uncovering and studing is faced many problems and limitations. The lecturer challenges the claims made by author. The lecturer thinks that new guide lines help to sort out their problems in archaeology.
First of all, the author argues that many valuble artifacts were lost to construction projects. The article is mentioned that there are no proceeded with the construction and did not preserve the artifacts.This point is challenged by the lecturer.He claims that before start construction in any project archaeologists have to examing in that area. He says that if that area want to preseve the artifacts, archaeologists have permistion to preseve the artfacts.
Secondly, the author sugeests that many archaeologists elt the finatinal support for their resaech was inadequate. Futhermore, the article notes that goverment reducing funds who providing to archaeologists to do resaechs. The lecturer rebuts this argument. He suggests that archaeologist have to work with many companies who are doing constructions. He illobarates on this by mentioning that construction cmpanies have to pay good rates for preservation done by archaeologists.
Finally, the author states that it was difficult to have a career in archaeology. Moreover, the article says that they have to find jobs in only universities. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that archaeologists get lots of paid for their works. He notes that they have many type of jobs such as , as examiners, presevation of plans, progress the reports.
