Imagine if companies agreed to minimum standards - such as cleaning the bases of eval trenches by hand ( though a 9k pipeline might be er... proplems) or that they will all put in for a public scaffold gantry on accessible sites. etc...
OR the UK adopts a similar system to the Dutch... I keep banging on about it... and desperately want to know why not! Come on IfA !! and Curators... adopt this! it creates a level playing field and tenders will be on quality!

Dutch Archaeology Quality Standard. W.J.H. Willems & R.W. Brandt. Den Haag 2004
I too wish I could wish I could accept 700-800 quid a week for only 40 hours - but hey... I diversify and do anything (as Dino and I agree) however, it does mean - well last week for example around 75 hours )
Still... I now do archaeology I enjoy... whooo hooo! now... if I could just do that every week!
