"So yes, anyone can call themselves an archaeologist and do planning work and perhaps get away with it."
I haven't yet dealt with a situation like this, and if it were to arise, I certainly wouldn't validate the claim. I would absolutely draw attention to it, and do whatever was within my ability to correct the situation, rather than take a sideline view. I have noticed over the years a well entrenched mentality of an inability or unwillingness to speak out. Perhaps if more individuals when faced with these situations, spoke out, they would occur with less frequency.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
