AA3.1 Propose a research project
AA3.2 Develop and plan a research project
This unit is for archaeologists who propose and develop research projects. It is relevant to archaeologists in a wide variety of organisations including heritage agencies, academic research institutions, commercial organisations and the voluntary sector. Research projects may involve the collection and analysis of new data (including new field dat and the re-analysis or synthetic analysis of existing data. This unit does not cover purely descriptive exercises such as the compilation of catalogues.
Individuals may carry out research projects alone or as part of a team. The principal researcher usually proposes the research topic and takes the lead in formulating the research proposal. This includes identifying the research aims and objectives within the context of relevant research strategies; and identifying appropriate methodologies for the research and the resources and timescale required. The format of the research proposal will be determined primarily by the requirements of the organisation providing the funding.
