The term 'receptor' has been applied as a generic term attached to various nouns that identify aspects of the environment considered in an EIA. Its 1st use is probably lost, but is likely to be traced to shortly after the original EIA Directive (85/337/EEC) and hails from a vocabulary whose sphere is wider than the world of archaeology.
Whilst 'consultants' owe a considerable debt to European environment legislation, surely this knowledge can sponsor a far richer invective directed at sinister European technocrats. Or would that appear a bit too UKIP for comfort ? Safer then to stick with populist sneering at any target/ignorance percieved to lack the honest nobility of those who reside in the site hut......the usual suspects such as the 'establishment', the 'bureaucrat' or indeed the 'consultant'. It offers a topic of discussion whilst completing the 'context' sheet and the Harris 'matrix' I suppose.
