So long as the driver held an appropriate license and was competent-he or she could be Buddha for all I care.I would find it difficult to justify two sets of archaeologists eyes per machine in the budget too.Any machine surely requires one set of archaeology eyes and one driver.Both are the experts in their chosen fields on the day(in theory!). Are we to embrace digger drivers as field archaeologists too? "Step down and have a crack at this deep-strat mate".
Dr Wardle is absolutely right- we need to identify problems and assess potential mitigation. On digger drivers....
1. When hired from a reputable firm, one gets professional drivers
2. When hired from Bodgit and Scarper to minimise costs-one gets muppets.
3. If, in the unlikely event of reputable firm sending one a muppet driver-one has them replaced.
4. When inevitable muppet arrives from Bodgit and Scarper-get used to it-they have loads to choose from.
5. I personally don`t look forward to the day when I am forced to argue with a driver over the intrinsic value of my machine watchin!!!
