If I scanned it right, that's a job looking after the British Museum's mummys that just got advertised. Sounds wonderful; the stuff of young boys' and girls' dreams. However, it's advertised as a G6 or G7 job, and the pay scale is [u]just</u> over G6 mimimum to less than G7 minimum. And that's for a job in central London, supposedly at the top of the tree (as far as BAJR grades are concerned).
They must've been very persuasive on the 'phone, David.


(Maybe life's not so bad out in the shires.)

OK then, Unitof1, off you go...

Research in Archaeological Education is an international, peer-reviewed on-line journal devoted to research of archaeological education. The Journal defines such research in the broadest possible way, to encompass all pedagogical scholarship in archaeology. It therefore makes a strong commitment to raising the profile of research into archaeological pedagogies, and in so doing provides a forum for active, scholarly critique and review that transcends national borders.

The Journal publishes substantive theoretical, analytic and synthetic research articles, as well as initiative-based reports, project evaluations, critical comments and reviews. These contributions are capable of reaching a broad international audience in one way or another.

The Journal is published twice yearly, in June and December, and is available freely on-line.

Hi all,
Curious to how many people have tried being self employed in the archaeology world? e.g. how difficult is it? would anyone reccommend it?
Thanks in advance.

Are they professional archaeologists or is that the public accessing archaeology

This is a hypothetical question.

If an employee were to be sacked from a company after, for example, stealing company property/artefacts. They are prosectuted and convicted of this offence.

As there is no regulation as to who can and cannot practice archaeology in the country is it the responcability of the unit to inform other commercial units of the individuals actions or do they simply wash thier hands of the situation?

What are the avenues available to units in this predicament? Do you risk letting other units suffer the same fate or do you have to assume the individual has learnt their lesson?

Should there be more regulation of archaeologists through methods such as chartered status?

New Britarch thread

Have to confess I am baffled at the recent thread on britarch .. I got told about it... and popped over here to look

the Charles Meade Thread

I do like Johns comment

Quote:quote:I watched 'The One Show' last night with Neil Oliver's bit on Maiden Castle.

Nice aerial filming though my only criticism is that Neil seems to have gone to the same school of English as Badger Colony, however fortunately I was able to make use of the BBC's useful subtitles feature to understand what was being said.

Quote:quote:I too thought that Keith's was an enormously unfriendly, uncalled-for and chauvinist generalisation. Especially as what one sees on a number of British archaeology and metal detecting forums and PAS publications indicates that the number of native speakers of the language no longer able to apply themselves to either the spelling or grammar of their written English is proliferating at an saddening pace.

It is a huge, ongoing project, with lots of real outreach work going on in the Greater London area, especially in local schools, at the same time as the excavation.

Marrying commercial archaeology with community access.
