Nothing there I would not agree with... I was in discussion about a BAJR Guide on "Ploughsoil sites " as ther seems to be an idea that an eval will do the trick. on plough development sites you need more. and lithics / pottery scatters are a must to record.
I hate to think what Paul Barford says about me. or anyone else here. but he long ago lost any respect from archaeologists, sad, as some of what he says makes sense, but he has yet to find a way to say it in such a way that he does not offend. It is like a doctor telling you that they are here to help, while punching you repeatedly in the face
The argument is damage to subs surface archaeology - and that can and does happen... however. this is more a chance for positive action. and I will still hold to that.
I fear we will all get a chapter in his book.. which I think will never be published at this rate -- I thought I had a chapter 8 years ago
