Steve H Wrote:'Finally, the sheer weight of reporting now required is quite excessive. Small societies which in the past produced an annual report two pages long now find themselves having to produce a dozen pages'I'm pretty sure that was talking about the society's annual report (i.e. financial etc) rather than archaeological reports.
The final report is surely THE most important part of any archaeological work. I've written hundreds of site reports, even the most negative watching brief rarely comes in at much under 12 pages!
Was the 2010 date just an error on the website, or is it an old editorial?
