Certainly won't shoot the messenger (unless you provide bad news!)
And thanks for coming back with a report.
This new IfA Europe. I take it this is not the IfA controlling Europe, rather the IfA here being a part of a greater organisation. a sort of UK branch. if this is the case.. and here is my question... whose rules do archaeologists follow? who is in charge.. and how would this afefct UK archaeologists, as you say, we in the UK are perhaps 'luckier' than most. Which countries wish to be part of the Europe-wide Institute for Archaeologists. as difference in techniques, structures, methods, legislation etc....
I can foresee massive problems that will make the EU look like a walk in the park.
Take for example the one thing that gives an organisation bite the sanction or disciplinary - would the same rule apply across all countries? What one country sees as standard practice may not be the same in another... do they all have to conform to the highest level (and why do I get the inkling that will be the UK model )
i have probably used up my quota of questions.. ... so please don't feel obliged to answer em all.
thanks :face-angel:
