Probably explains some of the half-baked/bl**dy awful DBAs I've had to work from on a few projects that we've taken over further down the line then!
Junior/inexperienced staff should in no way be permitted anywhere near DBAs, they're the lynch-pin of any prospective archaeological project and poorly researched DBAs are the cause of many a lost-without-record former archaeological site. There's been a spate of jobs recently around here wher we've been expected to do mitigation based on DBAs from another organisation which have consisted of nothing more than HER/NMR printouts without it passing through the authour's mind that maybe some of the sites were a touch larger than the gridpoint given on the HER, and that possibly looking at afew APs etc might have been a good idea.... Has been causing us a lot of bother having to effectively re-do the work from scratch
