Rubbish is pretty much my response to the word "heritage" which is pretty similar to doing archaeology being part of the world of caring for living plants and animals. The document might be "good" for heritage but don't think heritage is good for or bothered by field archaeology. Heritage expects me to come across as in agreement with mostly estate management how to sell tourists old tat as part of economic growth. You just know that there will some bazaar meaningless statements and fundamentally just plain wrong everything produced by this non organization. It appears to congratulate the ifa on becoming chartered, hooo the prestige of being in the same boat as a Chartered Quality Professional. The only good thing about this document that makes me happy is its celebration of the loss of the historic environment jobs
"Since 2003 the number of conservation officers has decreased by 18% and archaeology officers 13%.The fall in historic environment employment since its peak in 2006 translates to 32% decrease overall, by 35% for conservation officers and 26% for archaeological officers."
All this great happiness in jobs loss and chartered ness, to be fair if anybody can be bothered to try and read it through to page 45 will find hidden away that all this mirth does not lead to any great happiness claim.
it actually says that Happiness/ Wellbeing Average happiness score (2012/13and 2013/14) is Unchanged. with 8.0 for heritage participants and 7.6 for non-participants. I feel robbed, what only an 8 please dont ever try to expline what a happines/welling average means is.
If any thing 2014 has been much better year than 2013 in field archaeology and that's without all those environmental officers to pull us down.
