Troll in my (perhaps limited) experience of 2 academic archaeology depts in the UK I have observed that it is more of an exception than a rule that archaeologists are members of the IFA. Don't have the figures but would imagine that most IFA members come from the contracting, curating and consulting classes. Notable exceptions perhaps are Birmingham, Leicester, and Cambridge Unis. However, of these only Birmingham has registered as a department rather than just a contracting unit.
