Somebody must have upset you. Are we into the argument over chartered status - as an obvious goal at the end of a structured training programme. I have to say I also like archaeology as a non-vocational degree and University is about learning a whole range of transferable skills. There must be a clear distinction between someone who is an amateur and a professional. IFA registration is really all a client has to distinguish properly qualified professionals from those not adequately qualified or resourced. I think we are heading in the right direction but we do need clarity for those commissioning archaeological work.
