In relation to the exchange between Unit of 1 and Sith, what seems to be happening is a confusion between the Conditions of Contract and the Specification or Written Scheme of Investigation.
The WSI or Spec will set out the scope of archaeological works, archaeological standards to be applied, the archaeological methods, and the archaeological responses to unexpected circumstances such as the discovery of Stonehenge II.
The Conditions of Contract govern the relationships between the Employer, the Contractor and the Consultant during the implementation of the works. They say nothing about the actual works themselves. They do provide a contractual mechanism for changing the scope of works, including increasing it, and for fair pricing of the increased scope.
Part of the role of the Consultant is to advise the Employer as to whether additional work proposed by the Contractor is reasonable and justified in the light of unexpected discoveries.
