Dutch Archaeology Quality Standard
W.J.H. Willems & R.W. Brandt
Den Haag 2004
A 237 page document that brings together professional standards and professional competance.. very much like BAJR (and others) have been pushing for. If you know what skills you need to do a particular job and know what is expected of you for a particular job, then it is left to professional judgement... then we are getting somewhere... whether amatuer or contractor, metal detectorist or finds specilaist... there should be an easy guide to the baseline standard... the requirements of a practitioner and the trust to allow the person to use their own judgement about what si best.
There is no reason why we can't have a pan european standard... one that involves us all in creating a SINGLE document that binds us all, and does not leave us drowning in a sea of Guidance.. We need the firm hand of Standards..
So come on... whats your thoughts!
"No job worth doing was ever done on time or under budget.."
