The funders of research will in general have their own agendas/quotas to fill. For example last year you could get many thousands of pounds to examine contemporary dance, but you would get hee-haw if you wanted to examine an archaeological site utilising environmental methods. This focus changes every year or so, but I fear not if you want to involve archaeological science anywhere in a proposal except in the vaguest terms...personal experience here, still bitter...
Hmmn. Tough call Andy, but if you can't beat em join em! Have you tried: 'Multi-proxy paleoenvironmental site investigations, expressed through the medium of contemporary dance'?
A sort of high-art meets high-viz leotard. Its a sure-fire hit with developers too, although chaffing may be a problem.
