Yes, I saw a print out once, but not being allowed into the ALGAO inner sanctum, had to eat the copy.
For those of you who don't know ALGAO (the association of local government archaeological officers) this happy group, which is now UK wide, is only open to heads of service, not us lowly DC officers or archaeological planning advisors who in large services (or those in counties without a county archaeologist) do all the front line work. In a profession that has so few people working as curators, to create a division within the ranks (we cannot vote on initiatives, particiate in the forum or web discussions, etc) is, IMHO, irritating and simply wrong!
Rant over - but still looking for guidance papers. And feel free to jump on the bandwagon!
