Good morning Paul.I had tried to (clumsily) offer this as a brief concept for discussion as opposed to a full-blown statement of detail.I do of course accept everyones criticism of my clumsily penned opener.Have been on the end of a trowel for months and writing has become a secondary (and somewhat mechanical) process!
The methodology imposed by the consultant had clearly been adopted "on the hoof".A couple of us got all rebellious and ignored the "no further cleaning-just dig it" rule and cleaned a couple of areas to make a point.Lo and behold-verily-lots of features turned up and were completely at variance with the spurious plans we were asked to draw through said overburden.My main point here is not to vilify the unit in question.I found them to be very professional.Sadly, as elsewhere, units find themselves on the shi**y end of incompetent and or under-resourced Curators who in turn doff their caps to consultants who represent their clients best interests a priori.A complaint to the IFA in my view would reflect badly upon the unit itself and in my opinion, any complaints that I have relate to the curator and the consultant who in my humble opinion let the unit(and us all) down badly.I hope this helps.Again, apologies for my clumsiness...will buy crayons and practise
..knowledge without action is insanity and action without knowledge is vanity..(imam ghazali,ayyuhal-walad)
