Are Standards in field Archaeology Slipping

[Marc Berger]

Well said that man if you happen to be stuck in Scotland and everything belongs to the "crown" like you would expect it too but In merry England all the finds belong to the landowner and the copyrights belong to the archaeologists....Not sure where I read that could have been in the forest charter. Its just that the Mounties from the county and heritage England like to forget that right at the start of a "project" don't they?

Here's the latest wannabe standard joke that ignores those two very integral aspects that make up something called "my" archive. In merry englande https://content.historicengland.org.uk/i.../gpa2.pdf/. Is got something called a wsi in it and also those subjects such as "Marketing to demonstrate redundancy" which no field archaeologist should be without. It also seems very smug about cifa. What's the odds that who ever wrote this standard gets their membership paid for by the government (probably using taxes from north sea). But then you won't ever find out who the author is and it will never see the light of paper. Seems to have been written for the historic environment forum wherewhat if it can't eat it's own tail. I am probably better spending my time considering "nemo dat quod non habet"
