I agree completely 1man1desk.I do however have one small caveat that underpins the crux of my rantings.....
Yes, those individuals/organisations who work in archaeology should be required to sign -up to IFA standards as a minimum. As archaeologists, we are perhaps in the unique position in that, we work with a finite resource that is publically owned.And yet, the IFA are without any legal standing whatsoever. The IFA then (in the eyes of the public) are not accountable to anyone.Theres the caveat: it`s a publically owned national resource.Therefore, any Institute/organisation that will stand for the profession needs to be publically accountable.
..knowledge without action is insanity and action without knowledge is vanity..(imam ghazali,ayyuhal-walad)
