You're havin' a laugh. :p
Not sure he is, all just a part of the ongoing race to the bottom in UK commercial archaeology
With limited site time, budget etc, a large part of a supervisor's job is knowing/guessing what features to dedicate resources to before they're dug, no use realising after the whole thing's been dug and is on the spoilheap that actually all the finds should have been 3Ded and various scientific samples taken. I'd suggest that takes rather more than 2 years of site experience, which could be on just a handful of sites? [and a helluva lot of background reading, trawling through museums, visiting sites etc] Unless of course PP is happy to just churn out mediocre results every time? :face-stir:
