Dinosaur - I suppose they could go for a job direct with company B, but i guess there'd be no guarantee they could go back to A afterwards. Its possible they may have a permanent contract, or at least long service at B which gives benefits that would be lost by switching to a short term job at another company. At the end of the day sub-contracting a team can be a quick simple way to get staff, and be of benefit to both companies/staff. Who knows, perhaps even the client and, god forbid, the archaeology do OK as well.
