Isn’t pre ppg so long ago that it’s not worth remembering particularly the concept that it was professional- it wasn’t. It was defiantly not professional afterwards either- as most of us here argue almost daily. It’s a bit like suggesting that the ifa was set up by professional archaeologist for professional archaeologists. It wasn’t-it was pure public servant. Pre-ifa, does that sound like some post-professional divide. It doesn’t. And thens* there’s RAOs or is it ROs, all headed by mifas whys that then? because mifas are not professional enough or is it to make RAOs look professional. Thing is professional means what and to whom? Currently my own view is that archaeologists have no control over the archive and are basically metal detectorists -so should act accordingly.
Dino thinks that three mps glossy monographs are a result,does he see this as a product of professionalism- I hope that it doubtful. Wonder who wrote them and what has become of them? I would put them all into the sad git bracket and as for the glossy bit that’s restricted to the cover, what ever happened to that bloke from that company called something like mastiuspus remperatum now theres an industry defining farce and its still ongoing.
