Profiling the Profession is a series of labour market intelligence projects for UK professional archaeology that have been undertaken since 1997. This series of projects has gathered snapshots relating to archaeological employment and illustrates trends in working practices across professional archaeology.
A new survey will be launching in late 2026.
For earlier results of the survey (1997-98, 2002-03, 2007-08, 2012-13, and 2020-21), please see the top-level menu for links to those reports. The 2020-21 report is a digital-only publication i.e. webpages on this website, while the others are PDFs.
