Ah, the Good Old Days when most funding was from Central Government (DoE), excavations were actually planned more than a week in advance and they were targeted to find stuff with some research objectives, rather than stuff usually turning up by surprise in the middle of a semi-lpanned rush-job as it does these days....actually if it was the 1980s it was more probably funded through the MSC and staffed by people from the nearest Job Centre
