I apologise in advance for my ignorance but in this type of situation who is to 'blame' for the proposed action. Who would have the final say or have made the decision to sacrifice this archaeology or as the case may be attempt to turn a blind eye? Is it down to the county archaeologists discretion or a collection of people? Could it be the case that the developers plans changed in which surely they would have to allow for the known level of deep strat and makes the appropriate changes in order to at least attempt to preserve in situ?. I know this must happen all the time, but this is unacceptable, this material cannot just be ripped out can it? is there no remit for at least a watching brief? Who would decide this? What about a petition sent to the developers or something along these lines?? pretty lame but not sure what else can be done short of laying in front of a JCB! } in full PPE obviously!
