I thought that in December the discussion on BAJR had circled round to the view that the only way that standards and conditions in archaeology in the UK could be raised would be by joint action to encourage best practice through increased uptake of schemes such as IfA membership / RO status, giving the potential to address low pay, poor contractual terms, lack of training, and poor standards of excavation and reporting.
If so (and maybe I was imaging it), the response to the curatorial standard is a bit baffling, since it seems to be a move in the right direction.
