Well, you don't say Dino. Hey - let's just assume I knew that, humour me why don't you, and that my sentence was taking it for granted that there was a brief for the job. Now try and take on board what I was saying, that it is the responsibility of the PM to get the funds for such work out of the clients. Any room for fine tuning the costs of the project during negotiations? Yes? Well, I wonder which bit gets pared down first, the fieldwork, post-ex, archiving or outreach? OK, it is likely to be the archiving, but next comes the outreach. And note what I say before you go off on one - what gets 'pared' down, not eliminated. There is still a brief to fulfill.
And it is 'merely' their job to fulfill any such requirements then? Phew, thank heavens for that. Wouldn't want to think that their job was in any way important and full of responsibilities to the archaeology and fellow archaeologists, now would we.
