Interesting question though - why do the archaeologists need to be
Government Employees (bureaucrats)? It would seem to make much more sense
for these services to be privatized, because on the whole, the work isn't
really "governmental". The argument for "loss of expertise" seems a little
spurious. For one thing, in this instance, the (ex) Parks Archaeologists
would be in an ideal situation to set themselves up as consultants.
