In the reading material, there are 3 problems of archaeology. However, none of them is convinced in the lecture due to the new guidelines. First, the professor disagree with the view that many valuable artifacts were lost to construction projects. Before the new construction starts, examinations have been taken on the value of the cite. What’s more, the preservation plans will be worked out by both government and archaeologists, and then the construction will be carried out around the site. Hence, the assumption of careless destruction of archaeology is un warranted. Second, the professor thinks that we should not worry about the inadequate financial support in that archaeology works will be paid by construction company instead of government. This is a new rule of this field. The company are likely to pay for the examination of the site. In addition, other preservation works are also responsible by the company. therefore the situation of research will be promoted by providing a large part of fund.. Third, the professor believe that the new guideline supports quite a lot of paid work of archaeology, which is not like the statement in the reading material. Many people will be employed in many diverse works such as examination, protection. Besides, the job opportunities has been the highest ever before. So the new rule largely expands the shrinking job pool of this field.
