Quote:Peter Hinton, IfA's Chief Executive, says: "If there remained any doubt that archaeology is a profession, uncertainty ends here.' "Things will be different now. Our influence is massively strengthened. The award of a Royal Charter will not be the end of a process but the best possible opportunity to increase the effectiveness of our campaign to enhance the status of archaeology and archaeologists, to raise standards of archaeological practice and so to give yet better service to clients and the public.'Is Mr Hinton an archaeologist?
I had a look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartered_(professional). Apart from the fact that these charters are either Victorian or created after 2002 a lot of these bodies seem to base the status of their members on accredited graduate courses. Does anybody know if the ifa is going to accredit any graduate courses?
