Architects are reproting similar job losses, so it is not clear yet wheich way the wind might blow.
Maybe the IFA should do a survey of Curators to find out where things are heading? It's probably about 3-4 months from a curatorial recommendation of whether or not a development proposal requires archaeological work, to that work coming about. Perhaps a survey asking nationally how the level of planning consultations and consequent PPG16 archaeological recommendations is holding up, would supply some pointers as to whether or not the next few months for the field archaeologists and the units are likely to be getting better, remaining stable or be as dire as we suspect?
