The local small archaeologists are doing well as they can react quickly, have local knowledge, relationships with the local history centre, curators, planners - know the wider archaeology in the area and are cheaper. Get rid of them, and the developer will have to use the super unit...
Exactly, a locally based unit has some advantages, but they will largely be confined to smaller sized projects. Mega units work on a different scale entirely, surely?
As for the RO system? It seriously needs some work before anyone in their right mind supports the idea of only ROs being able to do work... As BAJR points out, what benefit will it actually bring? I would also ask, who has the most to gain? (Answer: perhaps the mega units?)
