Observing the ongoing debate on the financing of a Portable Antiquities Scheme for Wales, Cultural Property Lobbyist asks "Is It About Conservation or Control?".

Well, if I everything I write has to do with the fact that I have to register as a lobbyist (though archaeologists who are funded by their universities don't have to do the same) isn't everything you write colored by the fact that apparently you are a contractor for ICOM and UNESCO?
No.
I write what I write because I have eyes and ears and do not like what I see and hear.

[I also bet if you asked them, grey-suit organizations like ICOMOS and UNESCO would probably say without a thought that the PAS is a "jolly good thing".]
