Dinosaur Wrote:Eerrm, when I write a DBA it's usually to justify doing an evaluation, where there's any chance of justifying one at all (middle of an old land-fill site sometimes doesn't wash with either the client or the curator), in what universe do you operate where either one or the other occurs??? :face-huh:
Shurely Shome Mishtake - that should read 'when I write a DBA it's to assess the significance of the archaeological resource, understand the likely effects of the development and determine whether further evaluation is required' rather than 'justify doing an evaluation'.
Theoretically, the need to establish 'significance' would make it impossible for a curator to accept a sausage machine DBA without a decent amount of synthesis and discussion of, er, well, significance...
