Hmmm... I am still to be convinced, as theoretically it is 'a good idea' the practical is difficult. By all means give it a go. (look at the BAJR Fed for example - worth a go)
accreditation of archaeologists in one country ensuring they can work in another.... hate to say it... but the EU already allows that and it is already happening. Plus we come down to accreditation... in Poland for example one person I talked to, had to do 5 years at University and then a one year apprenticeship. before being classed as professional... so would that place them above a new UK archaeologist with their 3 years and 6 weeks? i doubt it.
Not wanting to pour cold water on anything which I am sure was an interesting discussion - but.. have we sorted out issues in the UK yet? before telling European countries how to act? :0
Do we not already have this?

and to accept that we must negotiate down certain standards which have been hard won... I say no. There are already enough loopholes, getouts, twists and turns - what would be sacrificed next... ?
once again, thanks for brining this to us Paul... :face-kiss: you don't really have to defend anything, as you are the messenger - }
