This thread is about the ifa becoming Chartered. In some professions that are Chartered it is only those members that are allowed to call themselves by the professions name. They tend to also hold a first degree in that professions subject.
I recently fell out with somebody who called their business Acne Architectural Services. Why?: His client kept calling him his architect. I would say that he had drafting skills although their maths put the plot at least 3 metres into next door.
If you read the ifa paper, copyright John Collis,http://www.discovering-archaeologists.eu...Report.pdf, you will see that the ifa is aware that in many European countries the designation archaeologist is restricted to qualified persons. If you read the Valetta convention article three it will say that only qualified persons should undertake excavation. The uk has signed that convention. I think that we right now have a thread about the highspeed railway connection http://www.bajrfed.co.uk/showthread.php?...s-jamboree Sith has recommended using OJEU to try and find tenders for the work, thing is- is Silf qualified? because I don't see how what qualifies us as archaeologists is recognisable across Europe under the terms of free movement of labour or market. Obviously maybe if we use a slightly different spelling like arch-aeol-ural we might be able to bamboozle them for a while. The ifa has played name changing tricks quite often given its short period of existence.
