Quote: (or am I wrong?)depends curators have to give approvals or disapprovals via comments to the authorising authority and they like to call themselves "archaeologists" and seem to want to give the impression that they are competent in the digging skills that Apparently are very hard to install in trainees yet we don't see much mention or asking of trainees/graduates diggers to consider that they might have a "right" as you put it support or object to the developments that they work on. The curators as archaeologists don't have the right not too support or object.
A reason that an archaeologist might want to express that right is if they want their archaeological opinion to be considered at an inquiry. If that is so then any archaeologist when working for a client should gain the maximum authority over the site by undertaking the most pertinent intervention on that site so that they might have the far most authority for archaeology and ( I don't mean heritage) at an inquiry.
