The council has this to say about the value of new archaeology not sure what they mean by "initially recognised at cost". Do you tell the council how much it cost to produce the archaeology?
You don't deposit many archives, do you? You have to negotiate a cost per box to dump all that smashed up crockery, fragmented roadkill and assorted hard-core (sorry, CBM...) into their stores in perpetuity (or until they have a clear-out somewhere down the line). Think you've been looking at figures for museum acquisitions - stuff they've paid for and which has an intrinsic resale value, and which can therefore appear in their balance sheets - completely different kettle of fish to the worthless tonnage we dump on them
