I was under the impression that this was your first job in this industry – no? and who do you think actually gives a monkies about the job if not your current employer?
My premise is that all those are possibilities, going on similar accreditation type things in pretty much every other walk of life. So, before I'm prepared to accept such a scheme I need a convincing argument of the benefits, and proof that there is a model that doesn't encourage those traits I've mentioned above and elsewhere. So far I've only seen things that increase my concern. So, instead of implying that I know nothing just because I'm new to this specific industry, maybe you could, oh I don't know, maybe say how it could actually help both archaeology and archaeologists, not just from one narrow perspective but relating to all aspects of the industry?
