Kleos publishes several types of papers; one of these is a dialogue paper by at least two authors. For the first dialogue of this series of articles, Karin Scharringhausen invited Dr. Manuel A. Fernández-Götz to respond to her review of his lecture “Path to complexity: Centralization and urbanization processes in Early Iron Age Europe”, given on 2 October 2013 at the Free University Amsterdam. In her review of the lecture Karin Scharringhausen focusses on the theoretical approach of Fernández-Götz. Manuel Fernández-Götz kindly wrote the response to Scharringhausen for the first Kleos dialogue. His contribution, the rise of urbanism in Early Europe, presents his complementary thoughts rather than a direct response.

The aim of this paper is to give an account of the debate concerning the use-life of byre-houses in Dutch archaeology. This paper focuses on the insights and ideas concerning the concept of use-life gathered from almost a century of excavating byre-houses, which were built on sandy and moist soils.
In sum, the assumed limited use-life of byre-houses with an earthfast (or post-in-ground) construction has been examined; byre-houses were built during the Middle Bronze Age (after 1500 BC) until the High Middle Ages (ca. 1300 AD). At the end of the Middle Ages the ‘post on a padstone’ construction became the norm, resulting in a break with tradition and a substantially prolonged use-life.
First, this paper briefly discusses the definition of the concept use-life and its relation with the concept lifespan. Second, these two concepts are further explored. A compact analysis is made of the various aspects of the concept lifespan, which is more technical in nature. Then, this paper reviews the archaeological framework of social theories that shaped the contemporary assumptions about the use-life of byre-houses. In conclusion, the estimates of the average use-life for each archaeological period are confronted with those of the lifespan. Furthermore, an overview of the consequences of the use of these estimates in Dutch settlement archaeology is given and recommendations are made for further research.

In 2002 is SOJA voortgekomen uit de wens om jonge archeologen een podium te bieden voor hun onderzoek. Na tien jaar was de vraag of deze wens nog steeds actueel is een voor de hand liggend thema. Het programma van de tiende editie van SOJA bood dan ook ruimte voor enige reflectie. Hiertoe werd Erik van Rossenberg, de bedenker van SOJA, gevraagd de key-note lecture te verzorgen. En in het verlengde daarvan werd de plenaire discussie gedomineerd door de vraag wat 10 jaar SOJA heeft bijgedragen aan de archeologie als wetenschap. Tijdens de opening van SOJA 2012 werd het thema 10 jaar SOJA ingevuld door twee bijdragen van het SOJA 2012 bestuur. Mark van Kesteren dook in het ontstaan en de geschiedenis van SOJA en presenteerde de ‘Verhalen’. Karin Scharringhausen bestudeerde de producten van 10 jaar SOJA, de programmaboekjes en de bundels en presenteerde de ‘Feiten’.

""De gebruiksduur van woonstalhuizen"
Een overzicht van aannames en argumenten voor bijna 3000 jaar bewonings-geschiedenis in de Lage Landen
Karin Scharringhausen, BA, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Samenvatting
Hoe lang bewoonde men een woonstalhuis? Een vraag die Nederlandse archeologen in het verleden zeker heeft bezig gehouden, maar waar eigenlijk nooit een bevredigend antwoord op is gegeven. Door middel van literatuuronderzoek ben ik nagegaan op welke uitdagingen men hierbij is gestuit en op welke gebruiksduur men is uitgekomen. In mijn onderzoek heb ik me gericht op woonstalhuisboerderijen met een constructie van ingegraven houten palen, die werden gebouwd van de Midden Bronstijd tot en met de Volle Middeleeuwen.
De gebruiksduur wordt beïnvloed door de levensduur van de houten constructie. Deze tweedeling in levensduur en gebruiksduur heeft mijn onderzoeksaanpak sterk bepaald. Ten eerste heb ik de meer technische aspecten van de levensduur onderzocht. De levensduur van een woonstalhuis werd in hoge mate bepaald door de kwaliteit van de gebruikte houtsoort en de diameter van de houten ingegraven palen. Daarnaast spelen levensduurbeperkende factoren als de vochtigheidsgraad van de bodem, externe invloeden als bacteriën en schimmels en levensduurverlengende maatregelen een rol. Ten tweede heb ik de sociale theorieën bestudeerd, die de aannames over de gebruiksduur hebben vormgegeven. De discussie over de gebruiksduur wordt gevoerd door de voor- en tegenstanders van archeologische bewoningsmodellen en de cultureel biografische benadering. Afhankelijk van de periode voeren argumenten als duurzaamheid van het contructiehout, plaatsvastheid, generatieduur en overerving een rol.
De gebruiksduur van een woonstalhuis beïnvloedt de inschatting van de nederzettingspopulatie, de bevolkingsdichtheid en op basis daarvan worden nederzettingen onderling vergeleken en het akkerareaal berekend. Het is dan ook van belang dat de gebruiksduur zorgvuldig wordt bepaald. Aanknopingspunten daarvoor vindt men in zowel de archeologische resten van functionele activiteiten, zoals nieuwbouw, reparatie of verbouwing, als door betekenis toekennende activiteiten, zoals bouwoffers, gebruik van constructiehout met een symbolische waarde en verlatingsrituelen. De belangrijke rol die het gegeven gebruiksduur speelt in de uitwerking van opgravingsgegevens en de vertekening die foutieve aannames hierover kunnen hebben op de resultaten van het nederzettingsonderzoek, nodigen uit tot een nadere periodegebonden specificatie van het begrippenpaar levens- en gebruiksduur en vereisen verder onderzoek.""""

Between 2012 and 2014 representatives from 23 organisations in 21 European countries worked together in the Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe 2014 project to gain insight into the profile of the archaeological profession and labour market in those countries. The results can be compared with those of a predecessor Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe project, undertaken in 2006-08,
Employment. Across the 21 participating states, it is calculated that a total of over €1 billion is spent on professional archaeology every year, with the majority of that expenditure being on the salary costs of the estimated 24,740 people who work as archaeologists in these countries. This group of professionals represents 0.006% of the combined total workforces of those states. In many states, the absolute numbers employed in archaeology has fallen significantly over the previous six years. It is estimated that approximately 33,000 archaeologists now work across Europe as a whole.
Growth of the sector. Across Europe, organisations employing archaeologists have typically become smaller over the five years prior to this project, and employers are very cautious about predicting future growth.
Nature of the workforce. A slight majority (50.3% to 49.7%) of archaeologists are women. The proportion of women in the workforce has increased over the six years since 2006-08 from 45.9%. On average, European archaeologists are 40 years old. Very few European archaeologists are disabled – 1.1% of the total number of workers for whom data were available, a reduction from 1.5% in 2006-08.
Countries of Origin. 94% of archaeologists work in their own countries of origin, 5% are from other EU states and 1% from elsewhere in the world. Overall, this shows a slight decline in sectoral transnational mobility, as in 2006-08 more archaeologists were working away from their countries of origin.
Qualifications. In every participating state, it is normal for people working in archaeology to hold a degree – on aggregate, 94% of European archaeologists are graduates and the majority (69%) are postgraduates. 90% of archaeologists gained their highest qualifications in the countries in which they now work, with 9% obtaining those qualifications elsewhere in Europe (and 1% elsewhere in the world). When compared with the figures from 2006-08, this shows that archaeologists are increasingly educationally mobile.
Salaries. In twelve of the 21 participating states, archaeologists were paid less than the national average for all workers. An average figure of €24,901 was calculated as the mean salary earned by an archaeologist, but this is relatively meaningless as average salaries vary enormously between counties, with Danish archaeologists earning on average nine times the amount earned by their peers in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Nature of the work. 78% of the archaeologists for whom data were available worked full-time and 22% part-time. This is a marked change from 2006-08, when the percentages were 86% full-time and 14% part-time. 63% of archaeologists held permanent contracts at the time of the research, while the remaining 37% of workers had time-limited contracts.
Structures. As was identified in the predecessor project in 2006-08, archaeological practice in the participating states is organised on different models, with varying levels of commercial activity balanced against state agency engagement. This is often linked to the funding basis of archaeological practice (variation both on the basis of funding from the state or from private sector industries, and on whether delivery is achieved by the state or by the private sector). Different states define who can be considered to be an archaeologist in different ways. Vocational education and training (VET) in the sector is almost universally delivered by universities through academic degree programmes.
Skills and Training Needs. Issues relating to specific training needs were assessed in each participating country, but, as in 2006-08, because of the variety of ways in which these questions were asked by the project partners (in order to accommodate the differing structures and approaches to archaeological work in each participating state), the information obtained cannot be usefully compared transnationally.
Trends and developments. In comparison with the predecessor work undertaken in 2006-08, the main ways that the sector has changed are that the number of jobs has decreased and the proportion of women working in the sector has increased. Furthermore, jobs are more likely to be part-time and for shorter contractual periods; archaeologists are more highly qualified, but are less well-paid in comparison with other sectors.

Presented here is the labour market survey of the Dutch archaeological sector for 2012 and 2013. The report presents the results of the second survey in a five year sequence of comparative research of the archaeological labour market and training in Europe. The survey is part of the European project Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe 2014, coordinated by York Archaeological Trust (YAT) and financed by the Leonardo da Vinci programme for Life Long Learning. Over twenty member states are represented in the overall study.
The study focuses on the paid workforce in the archaeology sector. The objectives for this study are formulated within the European project:
-Calculating workforce size in archaeology;
-profiling the profession in regards to diversity;
-insight in the situation and trends in the archaeological labour market, including investment in training, recruitment and career possibilities;
-insight in training demands and ‐ shortages;
-insight in the range of employers in archaeology;
-information for employers to further their businesses;
-information for individuals to further their careers;
-information for organizers of vocational training regarding training demands.
Results from this survey will be used in the Heritage Monitor maintained by the Cultural Heritage Agency of The Netherlands. Previous work to profile the archaeological sector show differences as well as similarities to the present research. Therefore, the Cultural Heritage Agency of The Netherlands will in future periodically organize surveys in close cooperation with the sector, using the present research as a basis.

SOJA E-Bundel 2012
In 2002 werd het SOJA voor het eerst georganiseerd. Inmiddels biedt SOJA al 10 jaar een laagdrempelig podium aan "jonge archeologen" om hun onderzoek te presenteren. In de meeste gevallen gaat het om afstudeeronderzoeken van masterstudenten of onderzoek van jonge onderzoekers. Dit is een categorie van onderzoek, die omvangrijk en interessant is, maar lang niet altijd de aandacht krijgt die het verdient. Op het SOJA krijgen studenten en jonge onderzoekers niet alleen de gelegenheid hun onderzoek te presenteren, maar ook om het te publiceren. Na het jaarlijkse symposium worden door diverse sprekers bijdragen geschreven over hun onderzoek, die worden opgenomen in de SOJA bundel. Deze bundel wordt op het eerstvolgende SOJA door de redactie aangeboden aan het SOJA bestuur.
Voor u ligt de negende SOJA bundel. De SOJA bundel 2012 is de tweede E-bundel in navolging van de SOJA E-bundel 2011. Er is dit jaar weer gekozen voor een E-bundel omdat de ervaring leert dat elektronische artikelen makkelijker worden gevonden en het vrij downloaden van PDF’s ervoor zorgt dat onderzoek een breed publiek bereikt. Deze laagdrempelige wijze van distributie waarbij een zo groot mogelijke doelgroep wordt bereikt, sluit volledig aan bij de gedachte achter SOJA: jonge onderzoekers de gelegenheid bieden hun onderzoek te presenteren

Voor u ligt de negende SOJA bundel. De SOJA bundel 2012 is de tweede E-bundel in navolging van de SOJA E-bundel 2011. Er is dit jaar weer gekozen voor een E-bundel omdat de ervaring leert dat elektronische artikelen makkelijker worden gevonden en het vrij downloaden van PDF’s ervoor zorgt dat onderzoek een breed publiek bereikt. Deze laagdrempelige wijze van distributie waarbij een zo groot mogelijke doelgroep wordt bereikt, sluit volledig aan bij de gedachte achter SOJA: jonge onderzoekers de gelegenheid bieden hun onderzoek te presenteren

Discovering The Archaeologists of Europe 2014 (DISCO14) is onderdeel van het Leonardo da Vinci ‘Lifelong Learning Programme’ van de Europese Commissie. Dit programma heeft als doel de samenwerking tussen het beroepsonderwijs en de vakwereld in Europa te verbeteren.
In 2008 is voor het eerst in het kader van DISCO een vergelijkend onderzoek uitgevoerd naar werkgelegenheid en opleidingen binnen de archeologische beroepsgroep in 12 Europese landen. DISCO14 is het vervolg op dit project waarin opnieuw wordt gekeken naar de Europese archeologische beroepsgroep, nu in 20 landen. De Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed (RCE), de Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA) en de Nederlandse Vereniging van Archeologen (NVvA) werken samen in het project DISCO14.
De hele archeologische sector (overheid, archeologische bedrijven, zzp’ers, musea etc.) is benaderd om een online vragenlijst in te vullen. Hiermee zijn gegevens verzameld over de archeologische sector, hoe deze is georganiseerd, hoe sluiten de archeologische opleidingen aan bij de arbeidsmarkt en in hoeverre wordt voorzien in na- of bijscholing. Daarnaast ligt bij DISCO14 sterk de nadruk op de gevolgen van de financiële crisis voor de archeologie, vooral daar waar het gaat om werkgelegenheid en investeringen in opleidingen.
Op deze poster presenteren wij de eerste resultaten.
