Museum of London Arcaeology, excavating in Cambridgeshire.
i keep thinking of the Duke’s of Hazard when they go over the state border, to escape the police.
I guess archaeologists don’t have so many turf wars.

But, what I understand is that archaeology requires multidisciplinary approach, bringing together experts from various specialties to work on a single project. Which often means collaborating with people outside ones region or organization.
Especially complex archaeology like the Uk (pre-historic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, Anglo Saxon, Medieval, etc.)
But again, what I don't know about this topic would fill volumes.....
I think I initially was going to write paleo/mesolithic but couldn't remember how to spell mesolithic.
I also think it's funny that Schama's History of Britain Volume 1 is titled "3000 BC - AD 1603" and yet only has 6 pages of information for before 55 BC, and certainly nothing specific date-wise that would justify choosing 3000 BC over any other random year.
There isn't a lot of funding to go around in archaeology. They fight so hard over the grants that there's no energy to left for turf wars.
