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 of the passage and the lecture discuss about the archaeology in the United Kingdom. The passage claims that in the twentieth century in Britain, the science of archaeology was faces with serious problems and limitations by providing three reasons. However, the lecture denies the three problems by citing the archaeological guideline published in 1990.
First of all, the passage states that the growth of Britain's population spurred a lot of new construction in British cities, which leaded to the lost of many valuable artifacts in construction projects. Yet the lecture refutes the statement by mentioning the clause in the guideline. Which stipulates that before the implementation of a construction project, the company should let archaeologists examine the site first, to prevent valuable artifacts from being destroyed.
Secondly, the passage mentions that many archaeologists felt that the financial support for archaeological research was inadequate. Because archaeology was mainly funded through government funds and grants. Nevertheless, the lecture counters the passage by pointing out that the new guideline stipulates the construction company should pay for archaeology research. Which created a new source of financial support for archaeologists.
Finally, the passage argues that it was difficult to have a a career in archaeology, since there were no many positions available. Notwithstanding, the lecture contends that there are more archaeological positions, such as examining sites, drawing preservation plans and so on, now. Therefore archaeologists will no longer ended up contributing to archaeological research only as unpaid amateurs.
