For me... I am happy just to see Licenced Directors on a rolling yearly basis... and only they can run commercial projects. dammit... I would even apply for a Licence. and that would allow an amateur group to put forward a person as a licensed archaeologist... you just need somebody who is competant and comes up with teh goods. -- ergo... part of teh criteria would be publication of work done - in a timely manner. every year. we all reapply... prove we have done good the previous year ...get our licences... and back to work. that would also have real teeth to failing...
It does seem a more logical approach to have those leading works to be licensed, but who does the judging, and by what criteria? To work, everyone, or at least the vast majority, has to have confidence in the system, and that includes clients and the public too. That confidence seems to be somewhat lacking at the moment.
