Hmmm it's a good point that smaller units don't always do better jobs and that in many cases you don't need to know an area to dig or interpret a site correctly. There is however the problem with larger units that the poor staff may slip through the net as 'just a number' and whilst they may not be promoted, their lack of ability is not dealt with as rapidly as it would be within a smaller unit. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link however!!!
