To Dig or Preserve

[P Prentice]

...Preservation in situ is a Red Herring meaning we have not got the resources to undertake the proper excavation and research so rather than state the truth lets come up with "preservation in situ" as a reason for not tackling the problem.

but this not to understand the fundamentals of nppf. the resources are available if the profit is big enough. if the options are limited the expensive ones will eventually become viable. it is up to the curators to insist that the best, most appropriate techniques are used however expensive they are.
