A lot of units haven't figured this out and are starting to pay for it :face-thinks:
Reading between the lines here Dinosaur...you appear to be suggesting protocols that at the minimum define Registered Archaeological Organisations and might be used in a wider sense to describe 'Chartered Archaeologists'. Does your brave new world therefore include a role for the IfA or an equivalent body?
