It is the IFA that has produced the Standards that HMG regard as being at the heart of the current system that (apparently) ensures compliance with Valetta. Now that the IFA is Chartered, then it is surely in pole position to be in charge of any subsequent system that HMG can point to on the same matter. I would suggest that Chartered Archaeologists registered with the Chartered IFA would be regarded by HMG as a useful form of 'licensing' that would enable compliance with international obligations. What future then for non-IFA archaeologists whether professional or non-professional?Very good questions Beamo.....
