Quote:quote:OK, they didn't set that % but what makes it alright for a curator to do so?!? If this were my project I'd be looking to the contingency, renegotiating the contract or asking for EH assistance (unexpected discoveries etc). I WANT strong intervention by the curators, and consultants too if they are aboard. I would also hope that with 'additional' help of students and volunteers that a greater sample would be investigated - originally posted by achingknees
I didn't say the sample was right, just that the contractor shouldn't be blamed for it.
On the "additional help from students and volunteers" - should archaeologists be giving a freebie to a developer on a PPG16 site by exploiting unpaid help? Back to the bad old days indeed!
