This is talked about peripherally in How Big Things Get Done.
If you are a construction crew in Great Britain, you have an archaeologist on staff. Someone who is already recognized by the governmental agencies responsible for the Heritage rules for that jurisdiction. So you have one on staff who can swoop in at the first pottery shard and expedite an extraction or declare a detour.
And if you are a construction company, you realize that you can find multiple sites in the same month on different projects. So you have every other archaeologist in your contact list on retainer, so you can get one in as backup.
Not quite the same situation here, but it shows that people who want to GSD have ways to do it when governments are involved.
