Apologies, wasn't suggesting they'd invented it (rather some of their constituent ROs), and such an approach certainly isn't promoted in their various guidances etc, am merely concerned that they seem to condone it - it's probably the surest route in the long run to the 'death of British Archaeology', since eventually no one'll be left (at least in the commercial sector) who knows how to dig properly. Scary thing is that none of the people trained thus that I've talked to seem aware that it's sh*** and the old ways (at least in this) are, actually, better. As I pointed out above, as time goes by it's starting to pervade PO-dom, then it'll be SPOs, then managers.... :0
