This is a fair point and I have personally seen some p***-poor excavations overseas run by UK institutions, academic and otherwise. Whether or not these institutions have their 'own agreed professional standards' is debatable, but where these organisations are RAOs or where indviduals involved are IFA members, then it should be pointed out that the Codes of Conduct and the Standards apply outside the UK as well as inside.
