My prediction is that the likes of Jack, like many In commercial archaeology, undertook Prentices two weeks + introduction to digging on a big excavation. Often these big excavations are part of big construction schemes which would have started with an eia/dba (produced for public inquiry purposes) and so it is the natural conclusion of the pawn in the game to be indoctrinated into dbas being the overriding necessity. That the site should have been evaluated completely passes many by. Even though big excavations are often areas of coincidental concentrations Big excavations also have an effect for the belief that the subsoil is a buried prehistoric landscape rather than the residual remnants of disparate isolated events throughout prehistory. You never really hear adout kilometers of buried medieval landscapes although I suppose pompeii is a roman example. Is Jack saying that he knows of a massive Lahar event in Britain in the prehistoric period?
