Foreword
The project Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe has been part-funded by the European Commission
through the Leonardo da Vinci II fund. The Leonardo da Vinci programme is part of the European
Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme.
In addition to twelve national reports on archaeological employment in each of the participating countries
in the Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe project (of which this is one), these results also contribute to a
transnational summary and overview of that project. 1
Data collection, analysis and publication of the project was carried out, and part-funded, by Vestigia
BV, Archeologie & cultuurhistorie between 2006-8.2
Generous support has been provided by Erfgoed Nederland3 for distributing the original questionnaire
and collating the responses and from The National Service for Archaeology, Cultural Landscape and
Built Heritage (RACM)4 who have agreed to publish a Dutch version of the final report.
Vestigia BV further wishes to thank all the organisations who have invested much time and effort in
completing and returning the questionnaire. This has led to the collection of valuable data on the
current state of the archaeological labour market in the Netherlands.
The number of organisations from which data has been included in the survey results represents 30%
of the target group of organisations and provides some data on 66% of the total estimated
archaeological workforce (see Chapter 3). Not all data responses were completely filled in, and for
some questions this has meant that results could only be presented in global terms. For the majority of
questions the data could, however, be used to recognise general trends within the profession. One
recommendation would certainly be to repeat this survey over five years to ensure the data keeps up to
date and also to encourage a greater participation of the field by data collection.
Although this project was funded by the European Commission, this report reflects the views of the
author’s only. The Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the
information contained therein.

1.1
Introduction and background to the project
Introduction
The transnational project Discovering The Archaeologists of Europe , part funded by the European
Commission Leonardo da Vinci programme, was set up to collect comparable data about the
archaeological profession in twelve European countries in 2007-8. Managed from the United
Kingdom by the Institute of Field Archaeologists, European partners in the project are: Austria,
Belgium, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, the Republic of Ireland, the
Netherlands, Slovakia, Slovenia, the United Kingdom and the European Association of Archaeologists.
The European project was devised on the basis of successful national surveys carried out in previous
years in the Republic of Ireland, but particularly in the United Kingdom,5 where collectively, the
results of two previous surveys (1997-8 and 2002-3) represent time series datasets which allow
econometric trends to be identified within the field of archaeological employment. This is the first time
such a wide-ranging survey has been attempted in the Netherlands.
1.2
Context and background
Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe seeks to improve the understanding of the requirements for, and
capacity to provide, transparent qualifications for archaeologists across Europe. The project objectives
at European and national levels are:
- to identify barriers to entry to the profession of archaeology and to transnational mobility;
- to identify labour market information and trends, including training investment, recruitment and
career progression difficulties;
- to establish the number of archaeologists working in each state to identify training needs and skills
shortages;
- to provide archaeological employers with information to aid business planning and improve
organisational performance.
1.3
Structure of the report
The first two chapters of this report provide an introduction and background to the project. These are
preceded by a short summary of the survey results. Chapters 3 and 4 deal with descriptions of the
methodology, data collection and analysis. The remaining chapters present the results of the 2007-8
survey in relation to organisations, archaeologists, jobs and training respectively. The appendices
contain additional information relevant to the report, including the project questionnaire.

2.1
Professional archaeology in the Netherlands
The introduction of professional archaeology in the Netherlands
Archaeology as an academic discipline has existed for nearly 200 years in the Netherlands. The
investiture of C.J.C. Reuvens as Professor of Archaeology at the University of Leiden in 1817 was the
first of its kind in Europe. From that moment, as in most Eupean countries, the Netherlands saw a
growing division between academically-trained professional archaeologists and a larger group of
volunteers and enthusiasts, collectively referred to as “amateur archaeologists”. The role of amateur
archaeologists in the development of archaeological research in the Netherlands has been significant.
Until approx. fifteen years ago, the number of professionals was so small that without the input of
amateur archaeologists, much essential information and important finds would have been lost.
Significant changes in the archaeological system in the Netherlands over the last few years have had
far-reaching consequences for the whole archaeological profession. Not only the available research
budget for archaeology, but also the number of parties and personnel working in archaeology has
grown significantly. Through the changes in the archaeological system, the continuing professionalism
of the field, the licensing system and the introduction of legally-binding guidelines and regulations, the
independent operational role of the amateur archaeologist in Dutch archaeology has been reduced
considerably.
2.2
Archaeological system pre Valletta Convention
In 1995 only approximately 125 archaeologists worked in the Netherlands, with an equal number of
support staff employed within the profession as well as a large number of active amateurs.
Archaeological fieldwork (mostly rescue excavations) was carried out by the State Archaeological
Service6, the five small university archaeological departments (also mostly rescue and a small number
of research excavations) the National Museum of Antiquities7 and a small number of town
archaeologists. The vast majority of archaeological research was financed by limited government
budgets. Inadequate limited financial resources and the scarcity of qualified personnel led, perhaps
inevitably, to an enormous backlog in post-excavation and publication of excavated sites. The
preservation of archaeological sites was rarely realised. At this time less than 80 students studied
archaeology. Of these, the majority of graduates did not find employment within Dutch archaeology.
2.3
The Valletta Convention and the revised Monuments Act
At a national level, the legal framework for the protection of archaeological monuments is incorporated
in the legislation of several areas of policy. The most important of these are Culture, Spatial Planning
and the Environment.8 The establishment of a legislative framework for archaeology in the Netherlands
6 Rijksdienst voor het Oudheidkundig Bodemonderzoek (ROB). The organisation for archaeological heritage merged with that for built heritage in
2007 to become Rijksdienst voor Archeologie, Cultuurlandschap en Monumenten (RACM).
7 Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (RMO)
8 Culture: Monuments Act (Monumentenwet/Wet op de Archeologische Monumentenzorg), Spatial Planning: Spatial Planning Act (Wet op de Ruimtelijke
Ordening) and the Environment: Environmental Management Act (Wet Milieubeheer). Combined, this legislation forms the legal basis for policy
decision-making and the management of cultural heritage.
10
is relatively recent, with the passing of the Monuments and Historic Buildings Act (commonly known as
the Monuments Act) in 1961, with a revision in 1988. In relation to archaeology, the Act deals with:
- procedures for designating monuments
- responsibility for archaeological research
- legal situation regarding ownership of finds.
The Act clearly states that the organisation of care and responsibility for monuments is not to be seen
primarily as a central government task, but is the joint responsibility of government and citizen.
After many years of discussion and delay, the long-awaited revisions to the 1988 Monuments Act9 were
agreed by the Dutch Parliament on 1st September 2007 in the form of the Archaeological Management
Act.10 The most important changes to the Monuments Act are those relating to the formal
implementation of the Valletta Convention (commonly known as the Malta Convention), coupled to an
explicit quality control and licensing system. The Act has led to a far-reaching reorganisation of the
archaeological system as a whole. In relation to the planning process in particular, two proposals are of
crucial strategic importance:
- the obligation that local councils adequately assess the impact of proposed local plans on existing
archaeological remains and provide for the necessary mitigation within planning constraints;
- the introduction of the “developer pays” principle, whereby the costs of archaeological mitigation
are financed out the development budget and not from (local) government funds.
2.4
Archaeological system post Valletta Convention
In the Netherlands heritage conservation is seen as a joint responsibility relying op cooperation
between the public sector and private initiatives. Private sector initiative within archaeology is a
relatively new phenomenon and is a direct consequence of the adoption of the Valletta Convention.
The framework of the revised Monuments Act and the associated changes to the archaeological
system, have had important consequences for the redefinition of the government’s role in archaeology.
These changes were increasingly evident in the years leading up to the formal implementation of the
new Act in September 2007. At national level, almost all government departments have some level of
responsibility for heritage management. Legislative developments have led to a situation whereby the
state has delegated more and more of its powers to the provinces and local government and the private
sector has begun to play an increasingly prominent role.
At national, provincial (twelve provinces) and local level (458 councils and municipalities), the
government’s role is now redefined as the formulation and enforcement of regulations and policy in
relation to cultural heritage and its integration within spatial planning. The client, whether within the
public or private sector, is expected to take account of archaeological values, and where necessary
ensure their protection, by all planned subsoil interventions. The new legislation stipulates that
government bodies (central, provincial as well as local) must make archaeology a condition for permits
for developments. The costs of archaeological mitigation are borne by the developer, as is the choice
of contractor.
The result has been that very substantial funding has been made available for archaeology and that a
market for archaeological services has been created in which ‘market principles’ such as tendering and
competition, apply. To this end the client can call on a growing number of archaeological services and

companies to carry out the necessary project management and research. The vast majority of
archaeological companies working in the Netherlands are members of the Association for Contractors
in Archaeology(VOiA) .11
2.4.1
Regulations within the system
Whilst the new legislation acknowledges that archaeological work is a service, it is also regarded as
research which is of vital importance for the understanding and valuation of the national archaeological
heritage. To this end, market principles operate under strict regulations which include:
- being in possession of an excavation licence, and
- being certified to work according to a legally-binding quality control system.
The Quality Control System, or KNA,12 was initially developed between 2001 and 2003 by the Dutch
archaeological community as a whole and is subject to regular evaluation and revision.13 The system is
based on a definition of the legally-required standard in the archaeological process, instead of the
archaeological product, and is made up of an extensive set op specifications and procedures that apply to
archaeological practices. It does not apply to the research questions that need to be asked of
archaeological research or excavations. Recommendations and guidelines for research frameworks are
set out in a National Research Agenda.14 The KNA also consists of training and experience
qualifications required to carry out certain procedures and functions. The requirements form de facto
the minimum operational standards for the most important procedures within each archaeological
project. At present the following procedures are subject to predetermined quality control procedures:
- archaeological briefs (research designs)
- desk top survey
- field surveys: coring and other invasive methods of archaeological prospection
- trial trenching
- validation and selection of sites and monuments
- excavation
- maritime archaeology
- site reports
- digital documentation of field data and finds reports
Certain public authorities, for instance the RACM, some local councils, a small number of provincial
Support Centres as well as the university departments of archaeology, undertake their own excavations.
These organisations are all in possession of an excavation permit and are obliged to work conform the
KNA. It depends entirely on the location of an excavation, the reason for excavation, the research
objectives and the client as to whether these organisations can carry out the work instead of an
excavation company.
2.4.2
Higher Education
Before the Bologna Accord in 1999, on successful passing a doctoraal exam, usually after four or five
years study15, graduates from Dutch universities were awarded the title of Doctorandus.16 Since 1999,

12
Dutch universities follow the internationally-recognised degree system of batchelor’s degree, master’s
degree, PhD.
Archaeology is taught at five universities in the Netherlands: in Leiden, Amsterdam (two universities),
Groningen and Nijmegen. There is a great variation between the teaching and research emphasis of each
university. This is reflected in the different course structures and graduate degrees on offer and the
regional and thematic research specialisations of the departments. Whilst academic education remains
the primary objective of university departments, until recently the universities also played an important
role in rescue archaeology in the Netherlands. This role has been largely been taken over by the new
archaeological companies. Each university archaeological institute has, however, set up its own
archaeological company that works on a commercial basis. Saxion College of Higher Education is the
first to offer a practical vocational course (batchelor’s degree) for archaeological research assistants (field
technicians).
2.5
Who is an archaeologist in the Netherlands?
The title “archaeologist” is not necessarily restricted to a select group of professionals and academics.
In fact, anyone in the Netherlands can call themselves an archaeologist. This does not, however, mean
that everyone is allowed to carry out all types of archaeological work. On the contrary, since the 1960s,
the right to carry out archaeological excavations has always been regulated by a strict permit, or
licensing system. Until recently licences were limited to academic research institutions, public
authorities and museums. In practice this meant that although research was often led by a universityeducated archaeologist, the majority of the work (especially the field research) was carried out by
technicians, students, volunteers and manual labourers.
2.5.1
The KNA- archaeologist
The introduction of market principles in archaeology since 2001 and the extension of the licensing
system has led to much stricter criteria being applied to individual education and experience
requirements for archaeological research. The licensing system for excavation (and since 2003 for
invasive prospection research methods such as coring) requires that the licence holder works according
to the KNA. The KNA is not only applicable to technical procedures, but also to the actors that carry
out these procedures. Within the system a number of important procedures can only be carried out by
certain actors that have the required combination of qualifications ( a university degree) and
experience. Such procedures include strategic decisions taken in the field, the writing of the site report
and the formulation of advice about the archaeological value of a site.
At this moment the KNA specifies two sorts of actors and the type of archaeological work they can
each carry out:
- the KNA-archaeologist: a university graduate with at least three years work experience within
archaeology;
- the senior archaeologist (with extra responsibilities under the KNA): has a minimum of six years
work experience after graduation and a minimum number of six academic publications.
In addition, the KNA specifies qualification and experience criteria for specialists such as geoarchaeologists, geo-physicists, archaeobotanists and physical anthropologists.
13
2.5.2
Professional Register for Archaeologists
At the start of the development of the Quality Control System it was decided that a registration system
for the profession was an essential prerequisite. The Netherlands Association of Archaeologists
(NVvA)17 was asked by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science to set up a professional register
of all archaeologists and specialist support staff working in the Netherlands. Registration is dependent
on signing an ethical Code of Conduct and is according to education, training and experience.
Since the launch of the register in 2007, it has become clear that the creation of a definitive register is
not as simple as first envisaged, primarily because of the lack of correspondence with the requirements
for actors in the KNA and the archaeological licensing system. At the moment companies and
organisations applying for an excavation licence are screened separately by the RACM (on behalf of the
Minister) to ensure the adequate number of qualified personnel.
Dutch archaeology 2007-8 has three systems running parallel to each other that judge the level and
suitability of individual professional qualifications: the licensing system for (invasive) archaeological
research carried out by the RACM, the KNA and the professional register set up by the NVvA. The
lack of apparent cohesion and correspondence between the three mean that they all remain under
constant and critical review. An overview of actors as defined in the register, and the required
qualifications and experience is to be found in Appendix 1.
2.5.3
Archaeological policy, advice and consultancy
For carrying out other archaeological activities, some described in the KNA and some not, certification
is not (yet) compulsory. There are no restrictions on archaeological advice and consultancy, and, in
theory, anyone can call him/herself a consultant. Recognised (i.e. voluntarily KNA-certified),
archaeological consultancies are obliged to work according to the KNA with appropriately qualified
archaeologists. This has led to a number of consultancies choosing to apply for certification, in order to
make clear that all aspects of the work they do conforms to the specifications laid out in the KNA.
As yet, there is no quality control regulation or certification applicable to public authorities18 carrying
out their duties in the roles of commissioning authority, supervisor or inspector. This remains a point
of concern within the system.
2.6
Perspectives within the profession
The introduction of the KNA with its criteria for qualifications and experience has led, in a relatively
short period, to great changes in the make up of the archaeological workplace in the Netherlands. The
actual numbers of archaeologists in paid employment has increased significantly over the last decade.
The majority of archaeologists today are employed by commercial companies. As the survey indicates,
the number of paid jobs in archaeology has grown to almost 1000 (6.1-6.2), of which the majority of
archaeological posts are filled by graduates (6.13). Many young archaeologists beginning their careers
now have the opportunity to grow to more senior levels of responsibility. The demand within the
market and the demands for professionalism within the sector have, however, led to a shortage in
17 Nederlandse Vereniging van Archeologen (NVvA). Membership of the NVvA open to any individual who has completed an archaeological
course or equivalent study and has been working in the profession in the broadest sense for at least two years. Members either work in the
Netherlands, or are Dutch nationals working for Dutch Archaeological Institutes abroad. Members are required to sign the Association’s
ethical code. The aim of the Association is to uphold, and where possible improve, professionalism, quality and ethics within the field of
Archaeology.

14
suitably qualified staff, particularly at senior level, that meet the requirements of the quality control
system. Although there are indications that the number of students studying archaeology is rising, the
beneficial effects of this will not be evident within the workplace for several years.
Despite the scarcity of personnel, the excavation licensing requirement coupled with the quality
assurance system, represent the biggest deterrents for an influx of foreign companies and
archaeologists into the market.

3.1
Methodology
Project aims
The principal aim of the project on a national level was to improve understanding of the needs of the
archaeological profession by identifying, collecting, quantifying and disseminating labour market
information for the sector. Objectives were to:
- generate a profile of the workforce
- gather and interpret details on the nature and extent of the archaeological sector, including
accurate employment figures;
- gather and interpret information on professional roles, including potential recruitment and career
progression difficulties;
- identify labour market trends and issues including training investment and supply and other
financial, business and staffing issues;
- gather and interpret information on training needs and skills shortages;
- identify potential barriers to employment;
- feed the collected data into the transnational project Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe, and in so
doing contribute to a wider dataset about the archaeological profession in the project partner
countries;
- inform the archaeological sector of the outcomes of this research.
3.2
Survey methodology
The survey was carried out by means of a postally-distributed questionnaire sent out with a covering
letter and a guidance note. The target population was all organisations employing archaeologists and to
self-employed archaeologists. Individual archaeological employees were not approached. Voluntary
organisations were also excluded. This approach was designed to achieve maximum coverage of the
profession, since a single completed questionnaire could, in the case of larger employers, provide
information about a large number of archaeologists.
The questionnaire was made up of three parts. Part One asked a series of questions about the
organisation as a whole. Part Two comprised questions on the profiles of all archaeological and
support posts within the organisation. A separate copy of Part Two was to be filled in for each
separate post. Part Three of the questionnaire was only applicable to Higher Education establishments
and asked for details about student numbers. A copy of the questionnaire, covering letter and guidance
note can be found in Appendix 2.
3.3
Mailing list
Vestigia’s own in-house address database formed the basis of the mailing list. This was further updated
from other comprehensive (overlapping) data sources, including:
- Links to address lists for organisations, institutions, companies and self-employed as provided on
the website of Erfgoed Nederland and on the internet page dedicated to archaeology;19
- membership list for the Council for Municipal Archaeologists (CGA);20
19 Websites: www.erfgoednederland.nl; archeologie.startpagina.nl.
20 Convent voor gemeentelijke Archeologen (CGA). At the moment 41 local authorities employ their own archaeologist. Some larger municipalities
(historic towns, such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Groningen, Utrecht, Nijmegen, Deventer) have their own excavation units and

membership list of the Association for Contractors in Archaeology;21
university departments belonging to Archon, the Research School for Archaeology.22
In relation to local councils, the decision was made to approach only those local councils and regional
services registered by the CGA. Whilst each of the 458 local councils in the Netherlands is
responsible for deploying its own policy with regards to archaeological heritage management, only a
small number of councils actually employ either an in-house archaeologist or an archaeological team.
These councils, 41 in total, are all members of the CGA.
The final mailing list consisted of 223 addresses of organisations, institutions, companies and selfemployed archaeologists known to be working in archaeology. These were either known to employ
practising archaeologists or, where this was not known, were considered potential employers of
archaeologists – this to ensure as complete a coverage of the professional group as possible.
From the outgoing questionnaires A total of 14 were returned from organisations in which no
archaeologist was employed.
3.4
Organisations
The comprehensive coverage provided by the address data sources used for the mailing meant that the
total of 209 (i.e. the original number of mailing addresses excluding the 14 returns from organisations
with no archaeologists) could be used as an accurate estimate for the number of organisations
employing practising archaeologists in the Netherlands.
In the questionnaire, organisations were divided into categories according to the organisation’s basis
and principal role.A predefined list comprised nine different categories or types of organisation:
- national government (or agency)
- provincial government
- local government
- inter-council archaeological service or regional service
- museum
- subsidised trust or non-profit making organisation
- university or institute of higher education
- private sector
- other
Respondents working within the private sector was asked to choose between two different categories:
- commercial archaeological company , and
- self-employed individual
carry out excavations within their municipality. These archaeologists are members of the Council for Municipal Archaeologists (CGA). The
CGA promotes archaeological heritage within local authorities. To this end it concentrates on the role of the local authority within the
archaeological system, the promotion of archaeology as a component of heritage policy and management, and the dissemination of information
for and between members.
21 The Vereniging voor Ondernemers in Archeologie (VOiA) has its own Code of Conduct and is active in promoting well-considered enterprise
within archaeology. The Association protects the interests of archaeological companies in the commercial marketplace. The majority of
commercial archaeological companies working in the Netherlands are members of the VOiA. Website: www.voia.nl.
22 Archon, Interuniversitaire Onderzoekschool Archeologie, Nederland. Website: www.onderzoekinformatie.nl/nl/oi/nod/organisatie/ORG1237955.
17
Organisations were then sub-divided according to their principal role or activity base:
- policy administration/curatorial services (government organisations)
- excavation and prospection
- specialist research services
- heritage advice services, management and consultancy (private sector)
- education and academic research services
- museum, visitor and presentation services
- other
Tables 1 and 2 show the estimated numbers of organisations in the Netherlands derived from the mailing
list and based on organisation basis or type (Table 1) and on principal role (Table 2). The figures in
these two tables are used throughout the survey as the estimated maximum response target.

A division between principal roles is presented in Table 2. From responses within the private sector it
was clear that a decision as to principal role was, in some cases, difficult to make since the structure of
the organisation was seen to be more broad-based. In the public sector, some local government
organisations still employ an excavation team as well as being responsible for policy administration.
Many companies, and certainly self-employed archaeologists, provide (out of commercial necessity as
well as choice) services across a very broad spectrum of activities: for instance a combination of
excavation and prospection services, heritage advice and management consultancy, as well as
undertaking presentation and communication projects is not uncommon. For the private sector, the
definition used in the analysis has for the most part been based on the categories used within the
directory of members supplied by the VOiA since this has been agreed with the individual members. 23

Distribution of the questionnaires
The questionnaires, accompanied by a covering letter and a guidance note were distributed by post by
Erfgoed Nederland in the second half of December 2007. An electronic pdf version of the questionnaire
was made available for downloading via the Erfgoed Nederland website. A ‘census’ date of 1st December
2007 was used, to ensure that no employees were omitted or counted twice as a result of changing
jobs.The initial deadline for returning the completed questionnaire was 1st February 2008. A general
e-mail reminder was sent out via the Erfgoed Nederland electronic information service on 21st January
2008. A small number of larger organisations requested an extension to the deadline. A repeated
request for information was sent by email to a number of targeted non-respondents at the beginning of
April 2008. The last responses to be included in the survey were received by 15th May 2008.
19
The questionnaires were not sent out to the employment agencies that work within archaeology. This
was in order to prevent an overlap (employees counted twice), since the majority of archaeologists
registered with the agencies are seconded out to other organisations.

4.1
Data collection and analysis
Level of response
May 2008 a total of 63 questionnaires were returned by post and another 4 responses per eBy
mail. This came to 67 responses representing 30% of all questionnaires sent out. Of these responses,
14 were returned from organisations in which no archaeologist was employed (see 3.3). Included in the
14 were 3 the self-employed who were not archaeologists, but provided support facilities for
archaeology (for example, translation services or material conservation). Another 3 organisations have
active roles within policy administration and curatorship without employing archaeologists.
15th
This left a total of relevant 53 responses, representing ca. 25% of all the questionnaires originally sent
out to relevant organisations, 209 in total.
In order to achieve a more representative picture of the profession as a whole, it was decided to
include data gathered from organisation websites for a further 9 of the previously targeted nonrespondents known not to have replied by 15th May 2008.
4.2
Questionnaire completion
Within the 62 responses, a significant number of respondents did not choose to, or were unable to
provide answers to a number of the questions in Part One of the questionnaire ( this includes the 9
organisations where data is based on website information) . For Part Two of the questionnaire, dealing
with post profiles, only 51 responses were received ( 82% of respondents but only 24% of the total
estimated response) of which the majority were incompletely filled in (including the 9 as for Part One).
4.3
Data analysis
It was decided to include the information from all 62 organisations in the survey, regardless of the level
of data completeness. This data was entered onto a Microsoft Access 2003 database. To aid analysis
the completed database was also converted into tables in Microsoft Office Excel 2003.
From a statistical point of view, the level of non-response and the incomplete responses meant that the
dataset was incomplete. This has had an inevitable (detrimental) effect on the level of analysis and
conclusions possible within the dataset as a whole. The response level as a whole was, however, not
felt to be unacceptably or unexpectedly low, as the responses still provided some very useful data. In
addition, since the questionnaire was aimed at employers rather than individuals, the 30% response
level actually provides the project with data on 66% of the total estimated archaeological workforce
(see 6.1).
For the majority of the questions, the data can certainly be used to recognise general trends within the
profession. Where responses are discussed in this report, the level of completeness in the response
total is clearly indicated. The number of respondents to each question and any comments or remarks
included in the responses are noted either in the text or in the accompanying tables.

Organisations
Organisation basis
The questionnaire was sent to all organisations that were believed to employ practising archaeologists,
including all self-employed individuals. In Part One of the questionnaire, respondents were asked to
describe their organisation on the basis of a predefined list (see 3.4). Table 3 shows figures for the
numbers of organisations which responded to the questionnaire.

Organisation role
The questionnaire asked respondents to select a single prinicipal role or service that best described
their organisation (see 3.4). A total of 7 (11%) respondents ticked 2 or more boxes (one self-employed
archaeologist ticked all the boxes). From the written comments next to the boxes on the returned
questionnaire it was clear that a number of other organisations see themselves as having more than one
significant role. Table 4 shows the number of responses based on the principal role of each
organisation.

Organisation funding
The questionnaire asked which percentage of an organisation’s income is generated by work related to
developer-funding. This includes the associated planning process, but excludes local authorities funded
to process planning applications. A total of 42% of organisations relied on more than 75% of their
income being generated by developer-funding (Table 6). Not surprisingly (Table 7), the majority of
organisations relying on developer-funding are in the private sector, although a small number of public
authorities show a significant reliance.

Size of Organisations
Respondents were asked to fill in the total number of employees (not including unpaid trainees or
volunteers) working within the organisation. Tables 8 summarises the results. It is important to bear in
mind that the total number of employees in larger organisations can distort the picture. There are
several immediate reasons for this:
- some of the responses from provincial and local governments only include the archaeological staff
whilst these clearly work within much larger sectors or departments with colleagues and support
staff from other disciplines;
- some larger organisations work in a much broader field than only archaeology, for instance, the
RACM. In these organisations the total number of staff includes a significant number that do not
work in archaeology.
The survey results suggest that the archaeological profession is predominantly employed within small
organisations. A total of 73% responding organisations have no more than 20 employees and 85% no
more than 30 employees (see also 6.1 and Table 16). A total of 27% are organisations with only 1
employee ( 88% , or 15, of which are self-employed archaeologists) .

Geographical location of Organisations
Respondents were asked to fill in the geographical location of their location base as well as the
organisation’s geographical area of work.. For many organisations, provincial, local government in
particular, the location of the organisation base and geographical area of work is predictable, i.e. within
the political boundaries of the organisation or the region (although there is some confusion in the
interpretation of the question as depicted in Table 10).
The small size of the Netherlands and the accessibility provided by the road and rail network means
that the location of an organisation (other than local or regional authorities), particularly in the private
sector, has little bearing on the area of work since commuting or travelling for work, is manageable.
Significant regional specialisation (outside local and regional authorities) is not immediately evident
within the survey results.

Two formal quality systems were cited in the questionnaire:
- ISO 9000
- Quality Control System for Dutch Archaeology (KNA)
Whilst only one respondent cited the use of ISO 9000, more than 80% used the KNA.
Respondents were asked if they were members of, and therefore recognised the Codes of Conduct of,
the VOiA (organisational membership) and the NVvA (individual membership). More than one
answer was possible on the questionnaire. The responses are summarised in Table 12.

Archaeologists
Estimated size of the archaeological workforce
The problem of distortion in the total number of employees per organisation has been discussed above
(5.4).
On the basis of the total number of organisations in the Netherlands (3.4, Tables 1 and 2), the total
number of archaeologists employed in the Netherlands is estimated to be 761. The total reported
number of archaeologists employed within the 62 organisations included in the survey is 499. This
represents 66% of the estimated archaeological workforce. On the basis of reported full-time
equivalents (fte) the total reported number of full time jobs in the Netherlands is 399,93. This data is
presented in Tables 14-16.

The analysis of organisation size on the basis of the reported number of archaeologists (Table 16)
shows the predominance of small and medium-sized organisations with no more than 30 employees,
53 organisations representing a large 85% of all responses. Over one quarter of all organisations, 27%,
have only 1 employee ( 88% , or 15, of which are self-employed archaeologists). A similar analysis of
the distribution of archaeologists over these organisations shows 46% working in organisations of no
more than 30 employees. Excluding the self-employed, this represents 43% working in organisations
with 2-30 employees. A significant 32% of all archaeologists recorded in the responses are employed
by only two larger organisations (the survey responses come from one archaeological company and the
RACM).

Estimated size of the total workforce
The total workforce is made up not only of archaeologists, but also dedicated support and specialist
staff working in archaeological organisations. The total number of support staff is very difficult to
estimate on the basis of the survey results. Whilst, traditionally, archaeologists in the Netherlands have
always worked with a relatively high number of non-archaeological support staff, the numbers
presented in Table 17 give an inaccurate overestimate of the total number. From the responses it is
31
apparent that the questionnaire was not sufficiently explicit in asking for a distinction between support
staff working exclusively to assist archaeologists, and those employed in other support duties in
organisations with a wider remit than just archaeology. As a consequence, reliable numbers for support
staff in the sector were not obtained. Some of the larger organisations employ only a few
archaeologists and directly associated support staff, whereas other staff in the same organisation have
little or nothing to do with archaeology.
It is possible to examine the ratio of archaeological staff to support staff within the responses from
commercial companies. The 16 responding companies employed 268 archaeologists alongside 58 other
academic staff and 77 other support staff (technical and administrative). This provides a ratio of almost
2:1 in comparing archaeological staff to other staff, or a ratio of over 4 :1 between all academic staff
(archaeological and non-archaeological) and other staff. Extrapolation from such a small subset is
difficult, but a global estimate of the total number of support staff (including other academic staff)
employed as a consequence of archaeological work could be between 250-300.

Estimated size of unpaid workforce
The Netherlands has a long and important tradition of amateur involvement in archaeology. The role
and number of amateur archaeologists was not included in the remit of this survey. The number of
unpaid staff is very difficult to record. The number of volunteers is difficult to estimate for a given
moment considering the fluidity of the workforce from season to season and project to project. Only
13 organisations provided some data on unpaid staff.
In total, 30 work experience placements for students (from universities or colleges) were recorded
with companies and government organisations. A total of 342 volunteers were recorded attached to
local government and museum organisations, with large numbers recorded for individual
organisations. These volunteers are working on excavation and post-excavation projects.

Variations in staff numbers 2006-7
Respondents were asked whether the number of staff, to be recorded in fulltime equivalents, had
varied in the course of the previous year 2006-7. Positive responses to the question were received from
21 (45%) of the 47organisations with two or more employees (this excludes the self-employed for
whom the question was not relevant).

The small size of the sample means that its difficult to draw any reliable conclusions from the data as
presented in Table 20. The data shows, in theory, a 41% increase in the number of archaeologists
employed in organisations over the period 2006-7, but a decrease in the total number of support staff.
In order to identify any trends in the growth of the profession over a longer period, respondents were
asked whether their organisation had grown in the last one, three and five years. As can be seen in
Tables 20 and 21, not all organisations replied to this question. To some extent, the increasing number
of respondents over the last 3 years reflects the number of new organisations starting up in this period.
This is certainly the case for self-employed archaeologists, with an increase of 7-11 reported new
companies coming into existence over the last 3 years. Without reference to the survey data, it is
certainly true that the number of operators in the commercial sector has increased over the last 5-10
33
years. The last 1-2 years has seen a similar growth within the local and provincial government sectors.
The figures reflect a general increase in staff numbers, particularly the number of archaeologists, over
the last 3 years.

Analysing the same data from the perspective of the number of archaeologists working in
organisations, it is clear that the majority of organisations have shown a steady growth over the period
2002-5, with a levelling off in 2006-7.

Respondents were also asked whether they expected their organisations to grow in the future either in
the short term (in approximately 1 year’s time) or the long term (in approximately 3 year’s time). The
general prognosis, as presented in Table 23, is for either no change or slight growth. In Table 23 the
government organisations have been combined to allow a better comparison between the public and
private sectors. The majority of the recorded self-employed appear to be happy to stay self-employed,
with only one or two thinking of expanding.

Respondents were asked to state the main reasons for growth in staff numbers in their organisation
over the last few years and the main reasons for a projected growth or decline in the short and long

An overwhelming 46 respondents (74% of all respondents) said that they were optimistic about the
state of the employment market for archaeologists in the Netherlands.
6.5
External specialists
Whilst the responses stated that it is not always easy to find qualified personnel (see 7.7 ) It is
frequently the case that a conscious decision is made by an organisation to hire in external expertise for
a specified period or project rather than employ a new member of staff. The questionnaire asked if
organisations had hired in external specialists or advisers over the last year and if so, in what area of
expertise. Multiple answers were possible. From the responses 18 organisations had not hired in
external specialists (29%) and a further 10 did not respond to the question (16%). 34 organisations
(55%) had hired in specialists. These included more than one-third of all responding self-employed
archaeologists. Of these 18 had hired in expertise in two or more areas.

New entrants to the profession: students
The reported data shows that the vast majority of archaeologists are graduates and that most new
entrants are coming in to the profession after graduation from a Dutch university.
Questionnaires were sent out to the five Dutch universities where archaeology is taught as an
undergraduate course. One other College of Higher Education provides a BA degree in Field
Archaeology. No responses were received from any of the universities. Only the College of Higher
Education provided any numbers for enrolled BA students Information on the number of students
available from other sources has therefore been summarised below.24
Table 27 shows the trend of an increasing number of student enrolling for an archaeology degree each
academic year. Over the last decade (1996-2006) the number of first-year students starting an
archaeology degree has doubled. Similar numbers are not available for postgraduate students.
24 Information was found on university websites. See also, KNAW, 2007.

On average, 35% of all first-year students go on to finish their degree within 6 years (previously
doctoraal exam, now master’s degree). This would mean just under 60 students graduating in 2007.
Following the trend of increasing student numbers, this number will probably rise to between 65-70
over the next 2-5 years.

Gender balance within the profession
When asked to report on the variations in staff numbers in the profession over the last 5 years, the
questionnaire was structured so that the answer reflected the numbers of male and female employees
one, three and five years ago (see 6.4, Tables 20 and 21). As well as enabling an analysis of growth
patterns in the profession, the data therefore also gives some useful information over the gender
balance within the profession in this period.

The primary data for gender was collected via Part Two of the questionnaire (see discussion under
Methodology and Jobs 7.1). Only 52 responses were received. These contained information from 129
different archaeological jobs. The total number of archaeologists recorded within Part Two of the
questionnaire is only 348. This represents only 70% of the number of archaeologists reported in Part One
of the questionnaire (499) and 46% of the estimated number of archaeologists working in the Netherlands
(761, see 6.1).

Disability status
The questionnaire asked respondents to indicate whether any of their employees had a medically
recognised disability. Responses recorded no employees with disabilities.
6.10 Ethnic diversity
No ethnic diversity was recorded in the reported number of archaeologists or staff.
6.11 Country of origin
Respondents to the profile only provided information about 23 archaeologists working in, but not
originally from, the Netherlands. The reported number represents less than 5% of all archaeologists
working in the Netherlands. The actual number of non-nationals working in archaeology is estimated
to be higher.

6.12 Qualifications
Part Two of the questionnaire asked about the highest level of qualifications achieved by staff working
in each job, archaeological posts as well as support staff. The respondents were also asked to specify
whether these qualifications were in archaeology or another subject and where these qualifications had
been obtained.
Some information about qualifications was provided by 52 responses (84% of all responses),
accounting for 282 individuals in archaeological posts. This accounts for only 57% of the
archaeologists reported in Part One of the questionnaire (499) and only 37% of the estimated total of
archaeologists in the profession (761, see 6.1).
A total of 80 support staff are entered in the responses to Part Two of the the questionnaire. Of these,
some information about qualifications was provided for only 38 individuals from only 14
organisations..
6.13 Qualifications for Archaeologists
Qualifications were filled in for only a relatively small subset of data. Responses relate to only 282
individuals with archaeological jobs. Table 36 sets out the highest level of qualification achieved. The
huge bias towards archaeologists with a PhD is an incorrect representation of the situation in the
profession as a whole. The bias is due to the fact that information in the table has been included from
all the academic and non-academic staff from four of the five universities (gathered from websites),
whereas 63% of the estimated number of archaeologists (761) are not represented at all.

In an attempt to correct this imbalance, Table 37 shows the highest level of qualification achieved for
all archaeologists, excluding those working in the universities. There are fewer archaeological staff with

Unfortunately, because of the lack of information received about salaries (see 7.3) it is not possible to
make any assumptions about the relationship between qualifications and salaries.

A list of the archaeological jobs submitted in the responses is to be found in Appendix 3.
7.2
Full-time and Part- time employment
Full-time contracts in the Netherlands range between 36 and 40 hours a week. According to
information from the Central Bureau for Statistics27, the percentage of part-time workers in the
Netherlands, ca. 33%, is the highest in the European Union (an average of 14% in other EU
countries). More than half of the women that work, 58%, work part-time. In Table 17 the data shows
that not all archaeologists have full-time contracts, the total number of reported full-time equivalents
(fte’s) is 399.93, compared to a total number of archaeologists of 499. The survey asked whether
individuals worked full-time or part-time, whereby full-time was stated to be more than 32 hours a
week and part-time less than 32 hours a week. Table 40 summarises the information received for 251
individuals. From the information in the responses, 58% of archaeological staff (124) work full-time
and 42% part-time (124). Of these, 76% of archaeological staff have a permanent contract (162) and
24% a temporary contract (52).

Salaries and earnings
Organisations were asked to state the salaries and earnings per post profile. It was foreseen before the
questionnaire was circulated that asking for information about salaries would be a sensitive issue. To
try and encourage responses, the anonymity of respondents was assured and salaries were asked within
broad ranges. This notwithstanding, information was received for only 27 archaeological posts and a
27 Website: www.cbs.nl.
45
further 6 for support staff posts. The incompleteness of the data subset does not allow for further
useful or reliable analysis.
General information about salaries is available from other sources. National government salary scales28
are a reliable guide to salaries within the archaeological profession, particularly for government
employees (local and regional government salary scales are comparable to national government salary
scales). Large-scale private sector employment is only a relatively recent phenomenon in Dutch
archaeology. Private sector salaries have their origins in public sector pay scales. The small size of the
professional group and the relative fluidity of the market – transitions between public and private
sector employment (and back again) within a career span is fairly frequent, coupled with demand (too
few archaeologists for jobs throughout the profession) means that salaries, depending on experience,
are on average comparable across both sectors. Table 41 shows the salary ranges within the national
government salary scale for 2007.

In the Netherlands, the average (mean) gross annual salary in 2007 was € 30.000,- (all employees,
including 8% holiday pay). Intermediair, the largest job vacancy service for higher educated staff in the
Netherlands, categorises archaeologists as “Social Science Researchers”, a subset of “Teaching and
Research Professionals”. The average (mean) gross annual salary for social science researchers in 2007,
with 3 years or more working experience, is € 36.020,00.29
Research undertaken on behalf of the VOiA in 2006, concluded that the average gross annual salary
for self-employed archaeologists in the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 was € 30.000, € 36.000, and
€ 42.000 respectively.30

Job security
From the 62 respondent for Part One of the questionnaire, 12 did not fully complete the question on
number of fulltime equivalents for staff numbers. For these 12, the number was estimated by taking
the average number of fte’s from the 50 completed responses (Table 44 uses the same data as Table
17).

to no involvement, 18% didn’t know and for 36% the question was not relevant, or no response was

Vacancies
The prevailing self-prognosis is of organisations that wish to remain stable or grow slightly over the
next few years (see 6.5). Respondents were then asked if it is easy to find qualified personnel. For the
organisations for which the question was relevant (i.e. not including self-employed archaeologists)
there is a three-way split between those that do find it easy, those that don’t, and those that just about
manage.

graduated). Only 16% of organisations were, however, satisfied with the level of education and training
of these personnel. 26% of organisations stated that they needed to provide, on average, a significant
amount to a lot of training to junior members of staff and 19% stated that there was a need for
additional training as well as that provided in-house.

Amersfoort, 18 december 2007
Betreft: Uitnodiging tot deelname aan enquête Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe
Geachte heer/mevrouw,
Graag vragen wij u medewerking aan het volgende:
Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe is een breed opgezet Europees onderzoek met het doel de
arbeidsmarkt binnen de Europese archeologie te inventariseren en eventuele barrières op te sporen die
de mobiliteit van de beroepsgroep binnen de Europese gemeenschap in de weg kunnen staan.
Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe richt zich mede daarom op een aantal concrete uitkomsten, zowel
op nationaal als internationaal niveau:
• het verbeteren van de transparantie op het gebied van kwalificaties, met het oog op de groeiende
behoefte aan transnationale mobiliteit;
• het identificeren van obstakels om tot de beroepsgroep toe te treden, en van andere
belemmeringen bij het volgen van een loopbaan;
• het identificeren van arbeidsmarkt informatie en het signaleren van trends daarin, bijvoorbeeld wat
betreft opleidingsfaciliteiten en wijzen van rekrutering;
• het vaststellen van het aantal archeologen dat werkzaam is in iedere lidstaat en de soorten van
werkzaamheden die zij verrichten;
• het identificeren van opleidingsbehoeften en tekorten aan bepaalde kennis of vaardigheden;
• het verschaffen van informatie aan archeologische werkgevers ten behoeve van hun
ondernemingsplannen en het optimaliseren van hun organisaties.
Het geïntegreerde eindrapport zal toegankelijk worden gemaakt voor een zo breed mogelijke
doelgroep. De verwachting is dat het gecombineerde Europese onderzoek zal helpen bij het
ontwikkelen van een flexibelere en meer competitieve rol voor archeologen in Europa’s
kenniseconomie. Tevens zal het bijdragen aan de duurzame groei en een stabielere maatschappelijke
positie van de beroepsgroep. Het kan daarbij de sector zelf helpen de eigen plaats in de internationale
markt beter te bepalen en de diensten en vaardigheden te identificeren waaraan nu en in de nabije
toekomst behoefte zal bestaan.
Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe wordt gesubsidieerd door de Europese Commissie via het
65
Leonardo da Vinci II programma. Het initiatief tot het projectvoorstel is enkele jaren geleden binnen
de European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) genomen door The Institute of Field Archaeologists (IFA,
Verenigde Koninkrijk). Elf zeer verschillende organisaties uit evenzoveel Europese landen nemen deel
aan het project. Voor Nederland heeft Vestigia BV Archeologie & cultuurhistorie als kwartiermaker
opgetreden om het project van de grond te krijgen en samen met de andere partners het
subsidievoorstel voor te bereiden. Begin 2007 is de subsidie toegekend en is het project van start
gegaan. Vanwege het gezamenlijke belang voor de hele sector hebben de Rijksdienst voor Archeologie,
Cultuurhistorisch Landschap en Monumenten (RACM) en Erfgoed Nederland besloten in het project
te participeren. Door andere belangenorganisaties, zoals de Vereniging van Ondernemers in de
Archeologie (VOiA) wordt het initiatief eveneens gesteund.
Net als in de andere deelnemende landen, vangt het onderzoek in Nederland aan met een uitgebreide
enquête onder alle Nederlandse organisaties, bedrijven en instellingen waar archeologen werkzaam zijn.
Elk bedrijf, instelling of overheidsdienst die archeologen met een archeologische functieomschrijving
in dienst heeft, wordt middels deze brief benaderd en uitgenodigd om aan de enquête deel te nemen.
De antwoorden zullen geanonimiseerd en gecodeerd door Vestigia in overleg met Erfgoed Nederland
en RACM worden geanalyseerd en verwerkt in een statistisch overzicht. De resultaten van de enquête
worden aangevuld met relevante documenten en andere beschikbare overzichten en gegevens. De
RACM zal het Nederlandse eindrapport publiceren. We gaan er daarbij vanuit dat het bruikbare
informatie zal bevatten voor werkgevers, brancheorganisaties, onderwijsinstellingen, beleidsmakers, en
niet in de laatste plaats de archeologen zelf.
De betrouwbaarheid en de bruikbaarheid van de uitkomsten en daarmee ook het welslagen van het
hele project is direct afhankelijk van uw bereidheid om mee te werken aan de enquête. Wij beseffen als
geen ander dat binnen de Nederlandse archeologie vrijwel iedere het op dit moment op zijn tenen
loopt. Voor de toekomst van ons allemaal is het echter van het grootste belang dat de Nederlandse
archeologie ook Europees op de kaart wordt gezet. Wij hopen dan ook op een grote respons.
De enquête zelf kan het beste worden ingevuld door een leidinggevende uit de organisatie. Bij grotere
instellingen is ondersteuning van de afdeling personeelszaken waarschijnlijk onmisbaar. Het invullen
vergt voor een kleine organisatie (< 10 personeelsleden) minder dan 1 uur. Voor grote bedrijven of
instellingen 2 tot 3 uur.
66
Vanwege de Europese afstemming kent het project een strakke planning. Wij vragen u dan ook de
enquête uiterlijk 1 februari 2008 op te sturen in bijgevoegde envelop naar:
Erfgoed Nederland, t.a.v. mw. Y. Lammers, Herengracht 474,1017 CA Amsterdam
Mocht u bij het invullen tegen onduidelijkheden of vragen oplopen dan kunt u de hulp inroepen van
de opstellers van de enquête:

Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe
Enquête onder de Nederlandse bedrijven, diensten,
onderzoeksinstellingen en opleidingsinstituten die actief zijn op
het gebied van de archeologie
Handleiding
Bijgevoegd vindt u de op Nederland toegesneden internationale vragenlijst gericht op het verzamelen
van statistische informatie over de archeologische professie binnen de EU. Deze vragenlijst bestaat uit
drie delen:
Deel I bevat vragen op het niveau van de individuele organisaties in hun rol van werkgever;
Deel II bevat vragen op het niveau van de verschillende functieprofielen die binnen uw organisatie
bestaan;
Deel III bevat vragen over opleidingen en trainingen en hoeft alleen ingevuld te worden door
onderwijsinstellingen
U zult merken dat de vragen eenvoudig te beantwoorden zijn en niet te veel tijd vragen. Iets meer werk
vergt het invullen van Deel 2 indien uw organisatie werkt met verschillende functieprofielen voor
archeologen. U dient het bestand van dit deel even zovele keren te kopiëren en in te vullen als er
functiegroepen zijn in uw organisatie.
Alle gegevens zullen in geanonimiseerde en gecodeerde vorm worden verwerkt in de eindrapportage.
Discovering the Archaeologists en de deelnemende organisaties garanderen dat de verzamelde data niet voor
andere doeleinden dan dit onderzoek zullen worden gebruikt en ook niet aan derden zullen worden
overgedragen.
Praktische tips:
⇒ Bij een sommige vragen vindt u enige nadere toelichting in de
voetnoten.
⇒ Gelieve een kruisje – X – te zetten of de gevraagde informatie in te vullen in de
desbetreffende box of kolom.
⇒ Bij sommige vragen met keuzemogelijkheden zijn meerdere antwoorden mogelijk, indien dit
zo is staat dat aangegeven. In andere gevallen vul het antwoord in dat het best past.
⇒ Als peildatum wordt u verzocht 1 december 2007 aan te houden.
⇒ Sluitingsdatum voor het inleveren van de enquête per post is 1 februari 2008.
⇒ De enquête is te downloaden via de website van Erfgoed Nederland

Deel II: Functieprofielen
Het is de bedoeling dat u dit deel van de enquête invult voor iedere relevante functiegroep die uw
organisatie kent. Wat bedoelen we daarmee? Het gaat daarbij op de eerste plaats om de
archeologische functies: onderzoekers, docenten, beleidsarcheologen, adviseurs, conservatoren. Op
de tweede plaats gaat het om die specialistische en technische functies die direct gerelateerd zijn aan
het archeologische werk, bijvoorbeeld: archeo-ecologen, fysisch geografen, veldtechnici, restauratoren
en illustratoren. Op derde plaats gaat het om de andere functies waarin afgestudeerde archeologen in
uw organisatie werkzaam zijn: management, voorlichting, redactie, bibliotheek enz. Wat dus niet hoeft
zijn die functies op wat grotere afstand van het archeologische werk: personeelszaken, huishoudelijk
personeel, boekhouding, tenzij hier archeologen werkzaam zijn. Kopieer dit formuleer dus zoveel als er
dit soort functiegroepen in uw organisatie bestaan. Indien u een eenmansbedrijf of freelancer bent, vul
het formulier dan in op basis van uw eigen situatie.
