the invisible man Wrote:Marcus: yes, that is indeed the analogy I was attempting to draw - curator = planning/BC officer, consultant = architect, and of course contractor = contractor. This is no coincidence, the somewhat artificial structure of commercial archaeology was set up to mirror construction and hence the similarlity in terminology.
Sorry, for some reason I'd got it into my head that you were suggesting architect=building control / planner. That's entirely my mistake, I can only blame the incipient onset of senility!
You know Marcus. He once got lost in his own museum
