Good for you Mr S, but RA didn't have TMA - he had his (then) archaeological community, to which he was presumably accountable. And, in the wider context, he had a responsibility of care to our cultural assets. Seems to me he failed on both those accounts, and he failed for quite inexplicable reasons.

Oh, sorry, have just realized that something very similar can be applied to a number of our present politicians - ie in the keeping of things under beds as well as not being accountable to their peers (nor to the public ;-)
