| 09/05/08 | 85 | BAA Archaeological Survey results We had some 20 responses with 15 experiencing both costs and time delays, and predominantly a problem with sand and gravel sites and in England. Whilst there has been a slight lull and no increases since 2004 – this is an area that there was little problem with until 2000. The survey is timely as the BAA initiatives with the archaeological fraternity and other industry colleagues reach a milepost this coming week with the formal launch of the Practice Guide on 15th May 2008. |
