Agree with you entirely-all archaeology is theory driven.The mechanics of excavation don`t change although refinements here and there are welded to the norm.Perhaps a sea-change in technological advances will see a radical change in the mechanics of what we do? Grey literature may well be a valuable resource but-it`s hidden away and frankly, I would`nt trust some commercial reports as far as I could throw them.I certainly would`nt use them in academic research without a huge pinch of salt!
