Abstract
This paper compares contractual practices and resultant financial profits in commercial archaeology in the UK with those of the construction industry. It argues that, until archaeologists adopt or emulate those practices, they will be unable to afford the training they need or the intellectual gratification and public engagement they desire, and suggests simple objectives by which that aim might be realised. It is based on the author’s (almost) 30 years’ experience in commercial archaeology and recent studies in construction management. It builds on a paper given at the Institute for Archaeologists (IfA) Conference in 2008, a precis of which was published in The Archaeologist (2007), and a seminar held at the University of the West of England in June 2014.
