What utter nonsense!!!
to know where something is, it is helpful to know where it is not.
yes, but I don't think the public are terribly interested in being told that it's not, if you do that too often they might start querying why all the money gets spent on archaeology in the first place.
Oh, and private/commercially sensitive reports/correspondence etc between a contractor and their client don't usually end up in any public archive, more likely in the shredder....just as well, HERs would have to start acquiring considerable bigger premises just to store it all! :face-stir:
