And here we get back to the same old story - given our proffession it absolutely amazes me the inability of archaeological companies and archaeologists to think long term!
The current situation is not sustainable! If you tender on the basis of doing the bare minimum and pray you dont find anything it will backfire.
We can not just keep slashing prices and forcing staff into worse and worse conditions. But you know what - we did it to ourselves!
When times were good what did we do? Did we band together and bargin effectively for change? Did we unionise? Did we hell - and now than things have taken a turn for the worst we are in a much worse position then ever.
