Quote:[SIZE=1][SIZE=1][SIZE=1][SIZE=2]1.7 A member shall not knowingly be employed by, or contract with, an individual or entity whose purpose is the sale of items excavated and/or recovered from archaeological contexts and where such sale may lead to the irretrievable dispersal of the physical and/or intellectual archive, or where such sale may result in an undispersed archive to which public access is routinely denied.[SIZE=1]Note:[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]
Members may be employed by or contract with, or participate in, projects approved by the Portable Antiquities Scheme.
So is it possible to take part in a project not approved by PAS (as someone has said, what does this approval consist of? ) but still is within the code 1.7 - and can one get invovled with a rally where the [SIZE=1][SIZE=1][SIZE=1][SIZE=2]individual or entity is not involved in the [/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE][SIZE=1][SIZE=1][SIZE=1] [SIZE=2]sale of items excavated and/or recovered from archaeological contexts BUT where some people involved in the event may do? Is it the sole purpose.. in which case we are talking purely about ...shall we say... er... salvage operations? such as say... sunken treasure? I would like to have clarification... as it is not clear whether my invovlement in recording hundreds of artefacts and producing a 150 page report and passing all information and digital date to the HER with the aid of PAS would contravene the code... would I have been guilty ??
