Just to clarify Dino..
The original WSI (produced by the client's Consultant... not the company who carried out the work) called for community involvement including on site digging. They also ran a four week project with Newcastle university to give first year students experience of fieldwork and commercial archaeology. At no point was any commercial fieldstaff compromised by or replaced by non professional staff. Indeed I would go so far as to say. Public involvement could be said to have aided the current position. ( All these documents are publicly accessible )
It is not over yet... as the farmer still has to be convinced to re-pasture the field. as we all know. scheduling allows a continuation of farming activity as it was at the point of scheduling.
