Many Shades of Grey: Dispelling some Myths about the Nature and Status of CRM in British Columbia, A Response to La Salle & Hutchings

Abstract

Response to: Commercial Archaeology

The last issue of The Midden featured an article about commercial archaeology in British Columbia. La Salle and Hutchings' (2012) peice provided data and analysis concerning the practice of archaeology in the province today and through time, and presented some challenging conclusions. A call for responses was put forth and, toward this, the following letter was received. It is hoped that this will prompt continued conversation on what may be some of the most crucial issues facing archaeologists in B.C. today.
