This paper lays out the results of an attempt to profile the archaeological profession in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Questionnaires were distributed amongst institutions and personnel within the country's archaeological community in early 2010, in an attempt to analyse aspects of the profession including levels of education, employment opportunities, work conditions and remuneration, further training and education available, and opinions regarding international cooperation and labour movement. Furthermore, an attempt was made to create a firm estimate of the number of archaeological employees operating in the country. These aims are in line with those of the multinational project 'Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe', undertaken by 12 EU member states between 2006-2008. The results obtained are compared and contrasted with those of the project, as highlighted in the resulting Transnational Report (Aitchison 2009). A further comparison between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Belgium is described, due to the similar socio-political situations within these two countries. As well as the aforementioned factors, the questionnaires also attempted to address the depth to which ethnic and religious affiliation pervade through the archaeological community and affect employment, opinions and opportunities in this divided country.
