Quote:tom has an idea for a building but dosen't know where to put itI can honestly say that I have never met such a case but if I did met this tom in my world I would tell tom to put it on a scheduled monument or anywhere that I can get to do some excavation/screw as much money out of it because I being an archaeologist want to excavate. In your world tom wants to use you to pretend that you are an archaeologist and stop any form of excavation and is particularly interested in any non intrusive methods that could mascaraed as doing an evaluation hence dba, pm geophysics.
Quote:We spend half our time trying to predict (ok, guess) where stuff will be and then find itwhen the client wants you to find nothing so that the other half of your time you look for nothing which is why you will use negative results from pm as an excuse not to evaluate by trench most of the area and you and the so called curators can pretend that geophysics has done the archaeology.
Reason: your past is my past
