The United Kingdom (Sometime 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 reduction 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.
The reading and the lecture are both about the serious problems and limitations that faced the science of archaeology in twentieth century in Britain.
The professor in the lecture does not agree with the three reasons that provided by the lecture about the problems and limitations that faced the archaeologists. Therefore, The professor tries to persuade her class that in 1990 the new guide lines and roles have improved the situation in all three areas.
First, Regarding valuable artifacts, the professor asserts that before any construction process, the construction area examined by archaeologists. So, if the site of construction is with a value, the archaeologists put plan with the government to build around the area or documentary the place. This point directly contradicts the point from the reading which states that many valuable artifacts were lost due to construction projects.
Second, according to financial support for archaeologist, thee speaker avers that any construction work be paid by the construction company. Furthermore, the construction companies pay for initial exam and all work carried out. This funding helped archaeologists to study the sites. Again this point refutes the point from the passage which claims that financial support for archaeological research was inadequate.
Third, regarding the difficulty to have a career in archaeology, the professor argues that the work was paid for archaeologists which was not available before. He says that experienced archaeologists were hired to observe plans like exam site, observe plan and process data. As a result, the number of proficient archaeologists increased.
