Quote:quote:I could try to explain to you that consultants (on the whole) do not see their role as 'to reduce the amount of digging to be done' but I don't really think that you want to listen to that argument and well life's too short and I've got better things to do today.I'm with you entirely Beamo, and I have pretty much given up on discussions involving that particular participant.
Given his expressed views about consultants, it is interesting to note that his own approach seems to be to maximise the amount of digging to be done - not so much for archaeological reasons, but just to maximise the amount of employment for archaeologists, irrespective of whether the work itself is actually needed.
That is just the kind of attitude that gives archaeologists a bad name and makes developers, landowners etc. suspicious of us.
