'i would agree with Els about the value of excavating burials from all all periods in the same manner and with the same standards'
I don't think that this is what some people are saying though. Leaving aside the 'period' issue, some people seem to be advocating value judgements and different standards for different cases... Or am I just being thick... This seems to be the MOLAS way, judging from previous posts. Im not saying this approach is bad, im just intrigued about the 'value judgement' process, is it done on a legal, formal or ad hoc 'hunch' basis?
