Where do I disagree.....
1. absolutely nothing changes. Disagree. The IfA will become a Charted organisation and will be able to offer Chartered accrediatation. Whether you think that is a good or bad thing is open for debate, but it will hardly be stasis.
2. the IfA somehow takes control of who can call themselves an archaeologists. Disagree. The IfA maybe able to control who calls themselves a chartered archaeologist, nothing more.
3. The IfA gets to determine who can practice archaeology. Disagree. Where does Chartered status confer any form of monopolistic control over a profession?
4 The reason the charter status fails is because the concept is based on forcing people to do something. Disagree. The IfA would not be forcing anyone to do anything. It will only have 'control' over archaeologists who aspire to or achieve Chartered accreditation
