I am largely in agreement with Troll here - all project designs should be written from a well-informed perspective. If the project is expected to produce a significant quantity of any particular category of 'specialist'material, then the project design process should either be done in consultation with the specialist or should be led by someone with the relevant specialist knowledge.
One good way of dealing with this is to seek advice from the regional scientific advisors in English Heritage. They won't write a spec for you, but they will advise you on what to put in, or comment on something that you send to them. I have done this successfully in the past, on projects where I (as a non-specialist) had to write a spec for the procurement of a specialist.
