''The grading of council archaeologists should also be consistent across the country, where a development control archaeologist in Wales, for example, should be on the same pay grade as a similar job in Surrey or Northumberland. An excavation assistant in Dorset, would be on the same grade as one employed by Tyne and Wear.''
