"by providing invaluable data on the location and extent of archaeology...it will avoid each project starting from scratch in considering archaeology and will give developers an early idea of what their responsibilities are likely to be" Sounds a bit iffy to me-The data being recorded is gathered through evaluation archaeology under commercial restraints. This "snapshot" is then meant to form the main corpus of the data upon which future decisions are made-seemingly without any further, corroborative work....I don`t like this in so many ways...:face-confused:
