I am afraid we are all complicit at every level probably, with the notable exception of our host. That is not meant sarcastically and the rap across the knuckles was a reminder that AUP is there for a reason. Back to the topic the situation described by Dinosaur is one I am very familiar with how is it one companies watching briefs will find nothing whilst on an adjacent site another will find plenty to comment on? Is it the result of one company using very inexperienced people while another will only use experienced people? Should curators monitor this and specifically state the minimum levels of experience of staff to be used on particular jobs, are archaeological standards the responsibility of the curators?
