Well yes, mia culpa, often!

And yes, "development" takes a different view so there's a struggle (with ground rules laid out recently by the Government that favour the latter.

I don't mind them winning sometimes - the country can't be kept as a museum - but I'd make two point:

a. The evaluation isn't scientific, despite you feeling it ever can be

and b. If this particular case ends with the roads lobby winning then it's as bad as it gets and everything is up for grabs. Ultimately it's a turf war Jon. 21 top archaeos say don't do it, so you can't say the effort isn't being made, and if they lose they won't deserve to.
