Seems to me that School of Jack is talking about a form of supervisor that does a little of everything rather badly, and nothing in general very well, mainly cos of a failure to delegate. Is that really the model of UK commercial archaeology?
Indeed, however, the model mentioned above is for a small job, say a 10 trench evaluation with a handfull of diggers. Larger jobs are, of course, more complex, with more levels of supervision and blurring of who is in charge of what. But The School of Jack will cover this later.
