" Wiltshire museums say, stop digging!
British Archaeology believes two Wiltshire museums are the first to call a stop to archaeological excavation. Archaeologists are digging up so much stuff, that there is nowhere to store it and no money to pay to look after it. The museums say the situation is unsustainable, and contravenes national planning policy. They will object to new development proposals until a solution can be found."
That puts an extra dimension onto this thread.
As i suggested regarding EKLB, all finds should be reburied after examination, there would be cost implications obviously but in my mind it's the right thing to do.
