Standard and guidance for archaeological advice by historic environment services

[Unitof1]

aimed at those devised management plans for archaeological assets

thats all right then devised whatys for what and not by me.

FE and Excavation standards

The only overlap that I can see in the so called FE and Excavation standards is that the civil servants bolded their recently inserted utter crap

However it arises an archaeologist should only undertake a
field evaluation which is governed by a written specification or project design
(see Appendices 2 and 3), agreed by all relevant parties as this is the tool
against which performance, fitnessfor purpose, and hence achievement of
standards, can be measured. In Northern Ireland if an evaluation involves
excavation a qualified archaeologist must obtain alicence to undertake work from
the EHS.

As far as I can see as an archaeologist to do archaeology I am the relevant party I agree with myself and don?t see why I would have to write anything down and agree it with myself. Possibly a closed shop institute might insist that its members agree with at least one other or two other members maybe that it is archaeology that your doing but what the Michaels is ?relevant parties?- up yours curators. Of course once I have done whatever it is that I do you don?t have to accept a word of it if you don?t want.

if an evaluation involves excavation

bizzare only a public servant would put the horse before the cart but thats what happens when you have an institute overrun with civil servants. Of course without their support, subs and grants the institute would cease to exist.
