NAS Part IV: Diploma in foreshore and underwater archaeology
The final element and the highest grade
of the NAS Programme is the Part IV Diploma. The primary objective
is to provide a certification level for a field-worker capable of
supervising a work programme on an archaeological site, in
conjunction with the archaeological director. This component will
not involve further formal teaching, although guidance and advice
will be provided at all stages by the NAS Training Director. To
qualify for the final certificate the candidate must have fulfilled
the following requirements:
- to have worked on at least three different archaeological sites for
a minimum of twelve full weeks in total since they completed their
NAS Part II certificate.
- to have completed a dissertation or extended portfolio of work on
an approved project or topic, including a full report prepared to
publication standard.
The Project Manager will encourage
participants who are awarded the Part IV Diploma to publish their work
in the appropriate journal and pass details to the relevant Historic
Environment Records
It is expected that participants in the
NAS Programme who wish to proceed to higher levels than Part IV
would apply to a university or other higher education institution
to undertake a suitable degree or diploma course.
