Just to add; from my experience spot scheduling for ancient monuments is possible but problematic, the local EH inspector was warned that a hitherto unknown but nationally important site was threatend with imminent destruction. He put the legal framework in place, papers drawn up etc came down to see the site, scheduling could have been achieved from start to finish in about 2 weeks. Unfortunately One of the archaeologists on site was asked by the developer who the Inspector was and why he was visiting, and when he was told he machined out the site there and then.
