I think it's because proper professions require them, and it's a totally superficial attempt to make a unit appear professional. I've given references for loads of arch jobs, and they are very seldom taken up even for the good posts.
As I see it a good project manager/unit director can read between the lines of a CV and know the worth of an archaeologist, the ones who can't, who rely on references, you don't really want to work for anyway!
