Abstract
This chapter is based on a presentation given originally at the World Archaeological Congress in Dublin in 2008. It has been updated to reflect developments since then although, sadly, many of the issues raised regarding how the archaeological profession in the UK trains and develops its practitioners remain to be resolved.
