OH!!! dont tell my work... I'll be transferred to the contaminated sites unit. .
We could of course plant all our sites with grass and trees and call it biological remediation and we could visit twice a year while the archaeology is remediated into dust voer the next 10000 years. A nice little earner.
Some artefacts such as UXO's may be both artefacts and contamination and last year I worked on such a site - a former WWII amunition depot, the artefacts were over 50 years old and therefore "relics" under NSW law.
