quote:Now that the IFA (along with ALGAO) has managed to produce a Standard and Guidance document for archaeological curators, perhaps we could look for one that is specifically for archaeological consultants. Failing that, I suppose that the next best move would be to establish a separate professional body for archaeological consultants that could produce its own standards and guidelines.

IFA standards generally relate to specific activities (such as DBA), rather than to specific groups of workers. Many aspects of what consultants do are already covered by existing standards and the Code of Conduct. Others may be covered by non-IFA documents (such as guidance on EIA).

I can't see any good reason to separate archaeological consultants from the IFA in their own professional body.
