Archaeology a roadblock?

[woolyhead]

I reckon that when a builder wants to get on with a site construction so as to provide people with houses and work, it's criminal when archaeologists get in the way and delay everything, then make the builder pay for the honour. One of the troubles with this country is that it's too rooted in the past. Who cares what out heritage may be? Any comments, please?

Are you talking in general, have you seen something on tv? or do you know of something like this happening yourself which has made you to start this thread?

History is very important. to learn and understand our past.

This may seem like a daft question but why is so much physical history underground? where did all the earth, that we're standing on, come from that bury's all the "history" we're having to dig up?

It's important that we explore and learn to understand our past, it's a pity some people don't feel the same, that's why it's important that sites have to surveyed and rules put in place for this to happen so our history isn't lost.

You're a troll, aren't you?

But why should the builder have to pay

In a nutshell,trees fall,rot and turn to earth, also other things on top of other things and they rot and lay on top of other things and it builds up.When earth had 100%+ oxygen,millions of yrs ago, things where huge, eg trees and animals.All this laid on the molten rock after earth cooled,simples.
