I wonder if this is widespread in other aspects of planning, ie. lists of herpetology companies, asbestos removal, newt wranglers, etc, etc.
I recently needed to replace some windows at the front of my house and as I live in a conservation area, the work has restrictions as to design and material and requires planning permission. I sought the advice of the a 'conservation' officer at our local planning office who was happy to give me the 'list' of local craftsmen able to make the windows (list total: 1 person) and those able to fit them (list total: 1 firm). So I don't think the archaeology parallel is that unusual and definetly not unique....
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
If the 'list' only had 1 of each type on it presumably it was very local indeed and didn't include people 40-50 miles away, unless of course you live in the middle of no-where!
