Quote:some professions are inherently riskier than others - and of course all measures must be taken to reduce that risk.Yes in some proffessions risk is inevitable, bomb disposal for instance, but I don't think that archaeology, or indeed any construction related discipline such as geotechnics should be placed in that catagory.
however sometimes an element of risk will never go away.
