In Ireland there are over 12000 excavation licenses issued each year, but they nearly all go to private companies who won't spend the money and resources on publishing findings properly.
Interesting. Great to see that so much research is going on in Ireland, but what's the business model for the the private companies. [Sorry, watching too much Dragon's Den]. The excavations that I very occasionally stumble across in North Wales are university / local authority / trust based which I imagine suffer from the usual public funding problems.
