Isn't that a Southwest Archaeology logo on the back of the hivis vest of the person in the photo? Surely this should have provided some indication of what was going on? I understand that the public perception of archaeologists is that they turn up wearing a stripey jumper and wielding a small paintbrush, so when they see a JCB and person in a hardhat and luminous jacket, they tend to think 'builder', but surely it could be explained to him that it's in his interest for the evaluation to go ahead, as if it identifies significant material, it may halt the development.
Also, can anyone tell me where I can commission one of those geophysical surveys that can identify the specific pottery types present on a site?

You know Marcus. He once got lost in his own museum
