Unit Commentary

This unit is for archaeologists who have responsibility to ensure that works affecting archaeological sites are undertaken in compliance with relevant legislation and regulations. They are likely to be employed by national government heritage agencies or local government bodies. This unit covers assessing proposals and, where necessary, works already carried out; deciding whether or not formal consent is required and taking appropriate action processing applications. It also deals with the negotiation of amendments to agreements and recommendations for enforcement action in cases of non-compliance.
