Essay topics:

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.

Question:
Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how the new guidelines adopted in the United Kingdom helped to address the specific problems discussed in the reading passage.

The new guidelines adopted in U.K. helped to solve the three problems mentioned in the reading paragraph.

First, the guidelines ensured that before any construction projects, a thorough measurement and plan should be made. For example, the archaeological interests should be investigated, and plans for preserving the construction projects should be documented. By doing so, valuable artifacts could have more insurance of not being destroyed.

Second, the financial support was previous given by the government, but the guidelines suggested that the support should be given by the construction companies. This was an important improvement in archaeological research. Therefore, the scientific research process including design, construction, and data collection from artifacts could be done without too much uncertainty of being cut off of funds.

Finally, there were lots of paid works being provided since the guidelines were proposed. The increasing number of job opportunities gave chances to those who wanted to become archaeologists and eventually flourished archaeological research.
