Depends who decides who can and who can't and how strongly it is enforced. But yeah, think I agree!

Had a lovely chat with Paul (from CPAT and an old digging chum ) and he explained that they have no list at all now. and currently - if asked - suggest that clients look for archaeologists on the IfA ROs website. which is all well and good.
There is no restriction in terms of a client hoving into view with a non-IfA archaeolgoist as long as the work is done to the proper Standard ( and here I am in agreement - this is IfA standard --- as it is the only archaeology standard there is IFA’s code of conduct and standards for archaeological recording .)
It is good to have these debates and allow open discussion. and I for one look forward to the day when there is a real barrier to the dodgy 'archaeologists' whoever or whatever they are. and that joining the IfA is a carrot with a stick. but mainly a carrot, that you want to join not have to.
:face-approve:

So fine to carry on working to the same standard but not joining then?

That is the attitude that sadly puts people off. and while I am a member ( thanks AAI&S), I want to want to be a member... not have to be a member or else.
All stick and no carrot. Way to go
I keep saying it... but the non-IfA are unlikely to Want to join as long as the only benefit to joining is to be allowed to do what they are already doing... but now at an extra cost.
And in answer to Dino. That is correct "fine to carry on working to the same standard but not joining then?" the end product is after all appraised by the Development Control Archaeologist who decides if the product meets the requirements of the brief.
