Personally I would like to be able to call myself a Chartered Archaeologist (but not under the mantle of the current IFA set up!!!) I would also be more than happy for amateurs to be able to work towards chartered status. What I am not happy with is the lack of any means of enforcing " professional" standards on those who take a spade, trowel or JCB to our heritage in any context, amateur or professional.:face-crying:
