I think a large part of this will revolve around time and pressures coming from finance, organisational structure, resources and reputable clout.
The archaeology alone could disinterest some people if we sell a site too hard and find nothing but a well with a dead horse in it.
An archaeological feast, but an anecdote of the day for joe so public.
Worse still we could have empty trenches. I've seen a volunteer spitting venom over real stratagraphic relationship material, that they considered boring with the prize of Neolithic treasure on the horizon.
What is it that we are going to interest them with.
The treasure, the story, the landscape, the soil or the systematic methodology, or the way that our priorities have to shift in relation to the importance of some items over others.
