If the client wanted to find nothing he'd probably go looking for a different archaeological contractor! And I think you missed my earlier post where I pointed out that we normally bung some trenches on blank bits of geofizz surveys to check that they're really blank? [although to be fair to the pro-geophysics lobby they do, indeed, often come up blank]
