Putting aside the moral arguments about HS2, my concerns are that there seems to be a shortage of the most experienced archaeologists - there is a raft of younger, good, keen supervisor-type grades, then a big gap to a remaining few 20+year vets working as POs etc. So, are there enough experienced people to supervise such a glut of work? And yes, complex jobs can be completed using well supervised but not very experienced labour. It's how I got into the game, after all!
I reserve the right to change my mind. It's called learning.
