Anyone who has watched Time Team understands why this took place.
England is filthy with Roman ruins, among other sorts. But only when you have a noteworthy celebrity, a reality TV show, and everything that is involved in that, do you have an opportunity to even scrape the surface on many of these sites. The funding just isn't there.
The work is hard, complex, interdisciplinary, and mostly unsexy. But the findings are sometimes incredible.

The funding just isn't there. Or proposed building works - most day-to-day archaeology is funded by developers as part of the planning process.
