We have been here before....back in the 80s there was a Code of Practice agreed between SCUM (as they then called themsleves) and the British Property Federation.....about the time we started calling them developers instead of speculators!!
Got to say this mail has me a little confused.....are you suggesting Archaeo...karl that a 'new' Code of Practice is required to regulate UK archaeology practice or to set standards and to promote UK archaeology. I would have thought that the new PPS5 is one step towards the former (apologies to readers in Wales, Scotland and NI) and I am sure that the larger archaeological companies sign up to IFA Registered Archaeological Organisation to QA the latter. So whilst accepting that no one should ever rest on their laurels so to speak, I am not quite sure where the problem lies....(now expecting flurry of responses!!)

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
