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 lecture discuss about revealing the truth of artifacts and old human civilization in United kingdom. The former argue that by revealing the most of old architecture, there was three possible issues and limitations was arrested in Britain, but latter challenges each of these points.
First of all, the author of the passage asserts that numerous precious artifacts were lost due to construction activities. However, the professor in the lecture contends that it does not hold true because as per 1990 new guidelines it say that before construction, sites often examined by archeologist. For instance, if building area and local sites has such precious artifacts then obviously government will preserve it and exhibited its documents.
Secondly, according to the passage, the expert opined that unless there is funding support, the archaeological research become limited. In contrast, the lecture objects this idea. She supports her argument by presenting the example of archeologist which usually paid by builder, but not by government. If archeologist really keen on research and interest to uncover such sites then, there is not suspicious to get full funding as well as advocacy by government and helping hands.
Finally, the passage claims that there is arduous to have career in archaeology, as a result only amateurs archaeologist involve in research. Nevertheless, like two suggestions before, the professor in her lecture proclaims that this issues is not feasible because there are huge universities which engage in archaeology research. For example, the professor influence students to explore report with data and analysis, consequently which even skyrocketing of this field than ever before.
