Although the efforts of individual contractors and curators are important, a lot of the linking of site archives with academics comes via the EH regional science advisors who are usually respected academics in their own right. As such they provide a much needed link between the commercial and academic sectors. I only hope that after defending them from previous EH cuts they will not fall prey to the latest round as they certainly have a greater interaction with and impact on development funded excavation projects than many other EH funded positions.
