Quote:[SIZE=3]Interesting....that?s a point I was trying to make. Who is oxford county council archaeology department. We ?archaeologists? all know that it was once Cambridge county council archaeology depatment that went what- Greek? It gave its self (or from a councillery meeting) a name plucked from a virtual reality, the Oxbridge departments presumably had a few ifa members who pretended to do archaeology with a speciality in 100,000 pound + jobs which it got asked to tender for -to give the veneer of respectability?-whilst others like oneman bands did not??.who asked the virtual county council archaeology departments to tender. This was not an individual private landowner, theres stakeholders partners, PFI, involved, as well as this grotty councillorwort, involved.
But as:
oxford county council archaeology department
doesn't actually exist - guess we'll never know

I think an important point to point out to the assembled huggers. This ?job? had a cast of hundreds of tax farmers- a lot with an ancestry going back to the romans.
Quote:[SIZE=3]probably worth stating here that if councillor melton gets his way some 1man bands would hugely benefitif I could get the ?100000 survey of all archaeological interventions over a period of years I could show you some home truths. If melton has the right grease I am his archaeologist, I can show his point a hundred times over-I have got a passport that says archaeologist-
