This seems to be telling us something we already knew. Couldn't be related to the "king Arthur theme park" controversy after the modern sculptures and the bridge? "We do do real archaeology about the site, honest"?
It's a summary of last year's finds and an announcement of what they're planning in this year's dig. But your suggested motivation may not be too far off the mark.
