Extract

What is archaeology? What is it for? How can archaeologists explain themselves in a country highly literate but little aware of their work; and what can be done about amateur collectors? How can a very small profession respond to the opportunities and challenges of economic development where statutory provision for archaeological mitigation often proves too blunt to explain how to proceed in particular circumstances? In Estonia, the professions middle order, having witnessed the assertion of national independence from Russia in 1991 as youngsters, is now coming into its own with these issues.
