Wax Wrote:Many but not all academic and amateur groups do work with the county archaeology service but it is a curtsey not a requirement. I work in a county where the relationships are good but still not as good as they should be. I would like to see mandatory monitoring of all excavations how else are we to maintain standards? Gentlemen's agreements are notorious for falling apart. Professional, academic and amateur should all work to the same standards.
