In other words. Close all of the bits that contain expertise, including all of the former members of the English Royal Comission and concentrate on all the bits that don't actually involve any archaeology ie ticket offices, site shops, giving money to people who've just dug up ?1000,000 worth of gold and, of course, the specialist division of organising weddings at Ancient Monuments. Just think, Dover Castle has a church on site!, There's a great hall where you could have receptions, only for a few hours of each day naturally. When they have finished doing up the barracks they could provide accomosation for guests (note, this isn't entirely ironic). It's the final victory of the profit over history faction. Maybe they could get former archaeologists to volunteer as bar staff.
