Perhaps managers who insist that their staff write anonymous reports under the company name might like to do the same when they produce synthetic reports based on staff labours in journals. Not seen one yet.
But the author of the site report is basing his/her work on the achievements of the labour of anonymous diggers/supervisors etc.
I am very much in favour of grey literature (i.e. client reports) being under the company name, with due acknowledgements given within the body of the report to those who contributed in whatever way. I see no problem with citing such reports as **** Archaeology 2005a, 2005b etc.
Published reports in academic journals etc should be attributed to authors, but with due acknowledgments to those that made it possible.
