Pan European contracting units are already emerging. OA has loads of work in France. Wouldn't fancy Scandanavia, though. I heard that all archaeology grinds to a halt for four months of the year. A pan European system of recording would be great though. There have been a number of occasions when I tried to explain to a French or Swiss archaeologist why we follow the features, and don't just excavate arbitrary spits across the whole site. Most of the time, they get all defensive.
