Yes, I agree Troll. In an ideal world I would like to see archaeology as a "true" profession, that is the term or style "archaeologist" as a protected title - as are architect. doctor and so on.
For a start, commercial archaeology should only be permitted by "licensed" or registered persons or bodies - in other words, competent, and accountable. This would not prevent amateur societies doing fieldwork, as it is not commercial i.e. paid.
Then, any person or firm guilty of misconduct can be removed from the register.
