Unit Commentary

This unit is for archaeologists who have responsibility for implementing the strategies and policies of the organisation; who have responsibility for the development of the organisation or a substantial part of the organisation and who have responsibility within the organisation to allocate resources, including people, to achieve their requirements.

It is important to find ways of resourcing the organisation. This is a complex activity as there are many sources of finance and other resources, and they have to be approached in a way which maintains the integrity of the organisation. It is necessary to be able to specify clearly what the funding objectives are, and which methods will be used to raise funds. Funding sources have to be identified, and then the funds have to negotiated and secured. This unit covers identifying funding objectives and methods; identifying potential contributors to the organisation; and negotiating and securing funding.
