Agree wholeheartedly with Kevin on a number of fronts. Competitive tendering in archaeology is counter-productive and is simply a Trojan horse through which central government can shrug off all responsibility for a finite national asset. Archaeology as an industry/profession has operated in an unregulated and un-policed free-for all environment since at least the early 1990s. Regulation is the obvious solution and in terms of the potential role of the IFA in all this......continue to produce, issue and promote standards whilst a government body pro-actively polices both the IFA and RAOs. Jobs a goodie.Chartered status achievable, cowboys excluded, we evolve to become the profession the tax-payer deserves.
