AB3.1 Assess and present a proposal for a brief
AB3.2 Agree a brief
This Unit is relevant to archaeologists responsible for the development of projects on behalf of clients and the agreement of contracts to undertake the project. This function is performed both by internal project managers developing a project on behalf of their own organisation and by external consultants who are likely to be working for non-archaeological organisations. This unit involves formulating a brief for archaeological projects large or small.
The brief may be prepared by the client organisation or their consultant for discussion with internal teams, external contractors or statutory/regulatory bodies. Alternatively, it may be produced by the latter for the purposes of procurement of services from contracting bodies. In the case of large projects, where, for example, a maximum budget has been set by a funding body, the assessment and presentation of a proposal will be particularly important. On small projects this stage (AB3.1) and the agreement of the brief (AB3.2) may be integrated in a single process.
