Good point. However, they are massive. You could easily spend your first six months in commercial archaeology doing things like digging test pits or being driven around the spread in a Land Rover digging tree throws that have been spraymarked by someone else during a watching brief. No need to even use the level. Don't get me wrong, there is good archaeology on pipelines, but not everyone necessarily gets to dig it.
