Some interesting comments.
"... the developer or construction company has no real idea about archaeology..."
I think increacingly they do; it is more common these days for developers to ask questions about what they are paying for.
"the county archaeologist is not really allowed to advise beforehand which company to approach..."
They do though don't they, what about those lists? and who knows what is said in phone calls.
"...and there is no real vetting system or complaints system..."
What is the point of the IFA then??
