As pointed out by other posters, minimum standards are defined by various standards and guidance documents, and not interpretable as 'almost anything' at all. 'Best Practice', on the other hand, is a fine example of weasel words. Can't say I like 'good standard' either. Where is that defined, Sparky?
..and yes, 'good enough'is what we should be holding on to, by which I mean not letting the level of archaeological investigation fall below our minimum standards because planners etc. are desperate to see developments go ahead, for the good of the economy.
I can't help thinking we are looking at this from very different perspectives.
