supporter though i am of the IFA (and thank you Chiz + others) i sympathise with Wax and Dino -...
i don't think the IFA can fill the various roles that many (admittedly sometimes apathetic and ignorant) want it to have - it can not be all things to all people -
Indeed it should not.
- we need a several overlapping independent bodies to facilitate arbitration of archaeological standards and policies + professional practice/employment standards, separate (for example) from commercial and business lobbyists) - - - aiming for a Monolith is not the way to go.
too much site hut apathy? perhaps...
But, that all said most problems arise from wider context of our lovely little excvavtions - there is only one lasting solution:
A World Fit To Do Archaeology In.
