I agree with you on this Mr. Singh, and there is never enough room on ADN comments to get into a full discussion. Yes, archeology can be hard. Yes, it requires expertise. I never said it didn't; never said 'let's throw a bunch of teenagers with Sporks out there and let'm dig!" Note my comment mentioned people to 'assist'. Implying someone above them, in this case, a real archeologist, which I am not. I have a basic grasp of it, reading articles, videos, TV specials, the like, so I've got the idea down, thanks. I am aware of how important it is to have someone trained to do the job. So my above comment stands, why can't some of the locals be hired to 'assist' with important work, like Angus mentioned, with trained supervisors, where time is critical. Having Mr. Frank talk down to myself and call me a 'pot hunter', i.e. a Thief, doesn't help the discussion. Also, the 'out of date' field tools Mr. Frank sneered upon are still used today. And I never claimed it was easy.
