In my experience RAO status is definitely no guarantee of good standards or ethics..........
It isn't a guarantee, but (as I believe was said earlier) - at least it's an attempt to sign up to a code and standards. Doesn't always work, but there you go.
But, that's not what I said. I didn't point to R(A)O as a guarantee, in fact the point i was trying to make was - this scheme is an attempt to have a basic standard of work in archaeology. It is almost overwhelmingly populated by commercial bodies, but it was not set up just for them. Perhaps if would be educational and useful for other types of organisation to be involved.
