Sorry steve did not pick up on this
As far as I see it the curators don’t justify the why where and the contractor can immediately do the lets console the developer with that curator is a .. routine but I will try and do the evaluation as cheaply as possible
Quote:[SIZE=4]The same question can be fired streight back:Because the contractor would also have to justify the evaluation (and location, sample size, methods) both to the curator and to the developer. That justification would go in the report and become a public precedent for the next evaluation. I also think that it would illicit better interpretations from the evaluation. At the moment we can pull this is a stupid place to put a trench defence, the curators put it here, therefore you have to accept the negative results. If the archaeologist had designed the sample and found nothing the curator could argue against the sampling method…at the moment if you make a mistake in positioning the trenches (no site visit, dba or basic instinct) its your regret.
Why does a local planning authority need a contractor to tell them where trenches should go?
