PP - answer is no... that is not really evidence of your initial accusation. .. um so/... er Nope
Dino... I see where you are coming from... however on teh flip side, I have seen and sent back reports that were not fit for purpose. or so one liner as to be a laugh. I have argued with consultants as a curator and been in heated discussions as a consultant... and been a contractor feeling pressured... To think that consultants are just there to cream off money that could be spent on archaeology though is however not something I have come across in my experience ( and it is quite extensive) ---
One report I bounced back 4 times... until I just wrote it myself... ( perhaps I should have charged them)
As most archaeology budgets are budget dust... the thought that millions is lost to archaeology because of consultants is quite funny... indeed one could say that there is more archaeology because of them ...
Glass half full.
