The consultants reading List.
The starting point is Simons paper.
Then
Archaeology and Law by Sameuls and Pugh Smith
Archaeological Heritage Law by Cookson
Building on the Past by McGill
Key Policy commentaries
Are Informed Conservation
Sustaining the Historic Environment a discussion paper.
Any general book on town and country planning to tell you how the system operates and has elvoved. I used
Town and Country Planning in Britain Cullingworth and Nadin
Preserving Archaeological Remains on Site the conference proceedings
Also
Risk analysis in the constuction industry
Risk Uncertainty and Decision Making Byrne
Management for the Construction Industry. Lavender
A general book on law such AS law.
I wouldnt bother with the huge number of standards documents that have been written at this stage. You prob know the basics in any event.
I would have a look at assessments etc produced by the firm you are joining and other leading consultants such as CGMS, Ove Arup, RSK or the Oxford Unit to name a few and compare them with purely archaeological organisations.
As you are joining a firm I would ring them up and ask them. They may want to structure your reading, they may have the books or be willing to pay for some of them. Indeed I would hope that they would have some training in mind.
I have inhouse manuals for many things (but no they are not publically available) and your new firm may have the same thing.
