Whilst I have no knowledge of the site that Mattockhead is concerned about, I do support his view that poor conditions should not be accepted. Regardless of the weaknesses in the H & S legislation that can be applied to archaeological sites, units should formulate suitable policies that aim to ensure provision of appropriate welfare facilities for their staff, and consultants should specify facilities in their WSIs.
Simply suggesting that he should put up with it or get out of the field is not very helpful. Contributions to this site should be constructive and should encourage improvement rather than acceptance of the current state.
