So how many of these volunteers have got CSCS cards then?....serious point, can't imagine a lot of the clients I work with wanting effectively Joe Public all over their dangerous demolition/construction/extraction sites, I spend enough of my time keeping the 'professionals' under my tender care alive and moderately intact despite their frequent efforts to kill themselves in surreal ways usually involving heavy plant (actually thats unfair on my present crew who are all motorway-scheme survivors and haven't managed a near-miss yet in two months on site)

To be honest, most developers don't want
any archaeologists on their dangerous demolition/construction/extraction sites, but they're forced to accomodate them because it's a condition of their planning consent that they have to deal with archaeology. Similarly, if public involvement were to become a standard requirement, I'm sure a way could be found to accommodate volunteers (albeit with much moaning and bleating from the developers, which probably wouldn't sound that much different from their current moaning and bleating about having to pay to deal with archaeology at all
, 'making the development uneconomic, paying for someone else's hobby, time team could do it in three days, blah blah blah...')
You know Marcus. He once got lost in his own museum

Just common sense, but amazing how many people seem to fail though.....there was a guy when I last renewed mine being told the good news, looked like he was about to burst into tears.....
