BTW; spot on Dino:
"The County Council reduced the archaeology service significantly in 2003 and again in 2006, 'resulting' in a sharp fall in the number archaeological investigations requested in advance of new developments.
In response tolocal and national pressure the council reinstated the service in 2009/10 and the number of planning applications with identified archaeological implications[SUB][SIZE=4]ROSE [/SIZE][/SUB]by approximately 80% [!!!!](http://www.archaeologyuk.org/ba/ba122/feat2.shtml). "
hmm...unless there were major diffrences in the areas/types of development coinciding very neatly with funding patterns between those years - + assuming the heritage rersources are in fact static and not gone walk-a-bout- this seems like a substantive case to add to wider arguments...
(a thought...are the statstics collected the same between those years?any other factors like thtat to consider?)
