ABSTRACT

Archaeology means different things to different people. To some it conjures up delicious thoughts of treasure, to others a more controlled but equally satisfying feeling of excitement as the past is revealed. To some who have experience of digging on extremely large sites it may recall tedious work as a very small cog in a very big machine, to others who have led or worked on small-scale projects it may bring painful memories of evidence misunderstood or destroyed through lack of experience or other circumstances.
