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.
In the reading passage, the author explains several problems and limitations faced in archaeology from most of the twentieth century in Britain, However, in the following lecture, the professor mentions new guideline passed by the United Kingdom in order to improve the current situation.
First, contradictory to the author claims that site constructions have destroyed many artifacts with the scientific value willingly or by an accident, the new guidelines force construction companies to employ an archaeologist in order to check the site. If the site has any archaeological worth, the construction company accompanied by expert archaeologists have to make a plan to preserve the artifact by document it or even creating the the construction in a way that doesn't affect the artifact.
regarding the second problem mentioned by the author about inadequate financial support by the government, the professor explains new guidelines also oblige construction companies to fully pay for every needed expense by the archaeologit team on the site . The expenses included but not limited to the excavation, research, documentation and so on.
The last problem listed by the author is that it is really hard to find a proper job related to the archaeology. The professor refutes this point by saying that with the financial support of construction companies due to the new guideline, many new jobs have been created to support every needed stage to preserve artifacts.
