I have been reading quite a lot of recent grey literature (2009-2011) over the last few days as I will be re-entering the world of commercial archaeology next week after a hiatus of 30 months, and I need a refresher!
I was actually quite heartened to see lots of improvements in content - particularly in the relevance of content (particularly in DBA/ ES reports etc), realistic, pragmatic and educated conclusions & recommendations, and the standard of spelling & grammar seems to be improving too (a particular bugbear - I am not alone there methinks). Most of the reports are relating to Scotland at the moment seeing as that's where the majority of my work will be....wonder if the same is apparent in Wales & England?
