No shock here. The drop in watching briefs will inevitably lead to a drop in paid work, even if they are just about the crappest way you can go about doing archaeology. In areas where there are (or were) a lot of watching briefs then units already on shaky ground will fold. Same goes for one man band units as watching briefs must (or at least should?) account for a lot of their work.
