A further complication may arise where the curator has no archive depository to recommend, usually trusting upon the excavator to hold onto the finds/paper archive ad infinitum. I can think of at least 2 English counties and 1 metropolitan area/unitary authority where this is the case.
Surely most planning conditions are written off following the production of an interim statement on the archaeology of a given site. This is many cases is not much more than a version of the old school staple essay 'What I did during my last summer holiday'.
Which is not the same as a full publication or even the commencement of any form of analysis/synthesis of the results of the archaeological work. Surely there would be as huge a backlog of unfulfilled planning conditions as there are unpublished archaeological sites if this wasn't the case.
