i have also the misfortune to witness horrendously cavalier excavation by professional units intent on making a profit
and as far as paranoia goes .......responding insultingly .......maybe i should patronise more and end with a :face-stir:
That's the spirit!
From my distant experience of university training digs, and talking to colleagues who have worked on some more recently, you've been lucky! - but presumably uni training digs range in standard from piss-poor to excellent, the same way as commercial work. How many unis have units? -precious few! The rest still largely rely on people who generally dig once a year, or have to hire in supervisors etc to cover the director/uni staff's 'shortcomings' (which is why I know commercial workforce who've worked on them)? :face-stir: (to keep you happy)
