Mr Fizz-Agreed, until the day when people like the IFA (hopefully more grown-up, professional and interested) take responsibility for this role, the eyes and ears on the ground will, as usual, be the archaeologists on the ground at point of trowel. Hence-the BAJR hotline.Use it sir and pass it on.I would recommend that your curator has a quiet word with the people employing him and remind them of their duties to the public. Councils are quite happy to spend ridiculous amounts on often bizarre and pointless exercises-expose them for doing so and, ask them to justify their actions if they respond in the negative.
