The reading passage contends that there are some problems that archaeology is facing in Europe. On the other hand, the lecturer brings up several contradictory points.
First of all, according to the lecturer, destroying historical remaining is past situation. The attitude of companies is changing. They put lots of effort to change a damage that stems from destroying historical remaining. Also, they try to be very careful about not to destroy remaining ones anymore and they let the archaeology reasearch this remainings. This casts doubt on the claim in the reading that many historical remainings and artifacts are destroyed in a fast rate.
In addition, the lecturer argues that there are more money that can support archaeology. To be specific, according to the document, governments are not responsible for the finance of reserch, which means companies have to take care of this money. In fact, it is very beneficial because the research can also use private funding from companies. This refutes the assertion in the reading that archaeology doesn't have enough money for research.
The final point made by the lecturer is that there are lots of opportunities available for archaeology. There are many grand and programs that are present for them to research. Also, since there are many advertisements about researching, archaeology can participate in this kind of field. This counters the writer's claim that many archaeology are having difficult time finding jobs. |
