RE: History or Bureaucracy
I wish Heritage Victoria would realise they should be interested in human behavior etc. that way they could sit in our public records office and library's and leave the sites to the diggers [] .
As I've said before western/modern history has been recorded from the first settlers here, there is great scope for Archeologists if we could find where the few people landed in the few hundred years before Cook or if the Chinese who left 10th century artifacts off the coast of WA landed there is another site Archeologists need to study.
BUT they continue to try to keep bottle diggers off 1850's to 1900's sites that they are never going to get funding for anyhow when we would be happy to record the contents of the holes for them on the guarantee we could keep our finds with no record of who owns what.
