Don't quote from it directly myself (wrong region) . But the ALGAO East of England is the most cogent set I've seen. Were the draft ALGAO one's national guidelines - because I think it's time we had some. Contractors just get annoyed by the random requirements and omissions in the highly variable plethora of local guidelines. As far as I can see the only stumbling block to agreed national ALGAO guidance is getting all the curators to agree on somtheing - not some massive variability in archaeological techniques or practice from one end of the country to the other.
