Put my foot down years ago so don't do that up-in-the-hills stuff (where's the finds?). Of course all urban should be done from the top by hand (since its all archaeology, and smashing out concrete by hand sorts out the men/women/things from the boys/girls/smaller things), service replacement/repair is usually just a case of recording the sections in someone else's trench, so quite a lot of what's left tends to be in someone's heavily plough-truncated field?
