From the pen of Kevin ' I would imagine that the county archaeologist/local archaeology society negotiated access to one site but were either refused (or couldn't be bothered!!)'
There was a lot effort put into have some archaeology carried out on this Medieval town i mentioned, i was working on a site just out side the last year the county arch was tell me that when he was doing research about the area before that job he found a file relating to the site which just contained letters from the local university and other academics basically begging to have some access to the site even on weekends just to take photos and pick up pot, its a sad thing to see.
The support was there but they where just knock back there must have been some one who they could have gone to , or am i just being a bit young and naive about it all, were there bench mark criteria, or was it all on the whim of the building contractors and the local planning.
About the driving thing i've noticed less more recent graduates that can drive as well, i have no explanation, i was told by a commercial digger who was a paid supervisor on a volunteer dig i was before university, that driving and computer skills (illustration) where the way forward this in 1999 good advice which i pass on
It good to hear that the Diggers Forum are covering this subject and i look forward to them

Archaeology is the peeping Tom of the sciences It is the sandbox of men who care not where they are going; they merely want to know where everyone else has been.
