Will you now require as a standard that detectroists go over a site BEFORE trenches are dug... or will you be willing to stand up and say to contractors that don't... you are deliberatly ignoring artefacts?

I have worked on many projects where either I or the curator have asked for all spoilheaps to be detected on a regualr basis to pick up just this kind of thing.

Unless you are going to start asking all contractors to dig everything by trowel and/or seive every grain of soil, I cannot see how this kind of loss can be avoided. This would be unimaginably time-consuming and prohibitively costly, so guess which PPG will be first into the shredder when the developers start squeaking to Gordon and the Broons.
