I hope that any briefs for archaeological work in Wiltshire make it clear that the developer will end up having to arrange storage of the records and finds, and I hope that contractors do actually consider deposition when they are scoping a project, like they are always supposed to.
I don't know about others disposal habits but we certainly do. We're currently involved with a large project where archiving was agreed at the outset but now the post-ex is complete and the world has fallen off the fiscal cliff, the recipient has no space and no funding for more.
