Except:
Not all construction 'activity' requires breaking the soil
Not all construction requires an archaeological condition,
Not all archaeological conditions require excavation.
Not all archaeological excavations require additional staff
Not all excavations that do are advertised on BAJR.
From the perspective of the company I work for.........there was a bit of a pause in work in early 2010, but later that year there was a surge in tenders and consultancy stuff.
Work has now picked with with a number of small excavation/monitoring, surveying and building recording projects completed and/or ongoing. Several small to medium sized evaluations are looming, as is at least one large infrastructure project. But one very large consultancy/evaluation and excavation project has been put back a year due to the client wanting to make the project bigger!
Unfortunatley few of these have needed any additional staff.
