I can understand the reluctance of a curator to state the obvious i.e the work will be carried out legally, but I would have thought that in lots of circumstances, measures to effect a safe working site and/or remediation of H&S issues would impact upon the archaeology....in which case surely the curator needs to ensure that procedures to ensure recording standards, (if any standard at all) are followed. This has to be somewhere in the curators method statement/WSI cos there isn't anywhere else for it to go!!
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
