It isn't about the quality of workmanship, its about the time and money available during the development process surely. No-one is suggesting that you are doing shoddy work, but I am suggesting that the level of investigation done during development archaeology can be less than ideal given the archaeology in question.
You can't tell me that you would not have preferred to have waited until you got the professional analysis back from a dig before deciding whether to go back and do more work or not. You also can't deny that since I've been around there's been quite a bit more money available for archaeology on this site either.
I 100% support archaeologists, I do not always support what is done with their work or the situations under which they are expected to work.
Assuming you are who I think you are. We are both very aware of the situation at Thornborough I'm sure - there is a fundamental difference in opinion. As far as I am aware, you do not believe any of the features found at Nosterfield or Ladybridge are of national importance. I disagree with that. My appologies if I am misinterpreting you here.
That difference in opinion is always going to mean there is a difference in opinion regarding how that archaeology should be treated.
