consultants and curators

[mercenary]

I could add an equal amount of anecdotes in the same vein as Troll, but don't much see the point while the burden of proof that seems to be required would put some courts to shame. And there is always the fall back defense of a misunderstanding or lack of communication.

I recently had a shocking conversation with a friendly and very good local curator, which left me in no doubt that my own quite negative feelings about archaeological consultants were if anything too charitable.
