Seems to me that this is trying to do excavation without an evaluation. I would like someone to show me where in the manual its says that you can do that.
You might end up with this situation
Not sure that the word commercial archaeology should be applied to any archaeology in wales. The “trusts” are subsidised
http://cadw.wales.gov.uk/about/partnershipsandprojects/aboutpartners/welsharchtrust/?lang=en
the pension/trust is a civil service scam
and they don’t pay any VAT.
archaeology in wales must be a stitchup from start to finish
I am starting to get the feeling that there was no tendering process to this job. Be interesting if it was European money.

I don’t see how you could have prepared to make any tender for this site other than asking for an open cheque book. If you didn’t ask for an open cheque book you cant have had any concern about having the time or finance to 100% hand excavate a whole site or worrying that anybody would complain-like the curator….
