No incoming fire from me, Kevin, that's a fair point. We may have other pressures on us, but we are in a fortunate position. We do, of course, have to disseminate the results of these trials (and of the projects too, of course) so that others can make up their minds about the pros and cons of this approach.
The point about digital and 'paper-lite' systems requiring greater resourcing during fieldwork and site archive creation is a good one. We did raise our time estimates considerably for Richborough and Dover to take account of this, and will be reviewing these at site archive completion to see how those estimates worked out in practice.
I'm growing more and more intrigued by Dr Peter's semi-automatic total station. Can't wait to try one out on one of our multi-phase brick buildings at Fort Cumberland!

Resistance is futile. Your project documentation will be MoRPHE-compliant.
