not entirely sure about why it would be a good way of making money but what I am trying to suggest is that it could be a way of assigning a lowest level of significance to a context that has to be found by field evaluation to signify that there is no archaeology in an area. I don't think that geophysics can establish what is homogenised plough soil. It seems to me that using geophysics to deselect areas for evaluation because all that is left is plough soil or some other homogenised deposit (or select areas for less evaluation) is what dino thinks is going on with geophysics. I am trying to view the site as x for geophysics + y for evaluation (=z) which is presented as cost of archaeology. Its just x is not archaeology and cannot be added to y...
