Invisible Man,
Am slightly confused. A licence would simply indicate to all that a person has achieved a certain level of experience and is suitable to undertake certain tasks - in this case that the archaeologist has the experience necessary to undertake archaeological works
There are various organizations that employ licence holders in one form or another to undertake certain jobs. For example a licence is required to operate types of plant ? you don?t have to own the digger ? the company does. You don?t have to have to provide insurance - the company does. Your are required to meet the requirements of that licence (whatever it may be) ? if you don?t the licence should be revoked
Ecologists require personal licences from English Nature to undertake certain types of surveys (crayfish, dormice, newts and also exclude badgers). Suitability to hold a licence is based on experience and references and a spec must be produced on each occasion Unless self employed ecologists tend to work under a companies Professional Indemnity, use company kit, have the same terms and conditions as the rest of us. Ecologists do leave and licences do get transferred. In tenders and contracts tend to state that the ecologist must be eligible to hold licences.
As stated Article 3 requires that that excavations are carried out by qualified authorised persons ? since this has been ratified it is a requirement of English law ? has just not been interpreted as such.
