Troll, I wholeheartedly agree with you. At the coalface you can do your best and if you're stroppy enough sometimes do a proper job. The further up the food chain you move in commercial archaeology the compromises you are forced to make become more unpalatable. I probably should have started my own company years ago, but can't stand the idea of doing cheap crappy work for years until the business finds its feet.
