For me it's Bridlington.
Exactly why is the current IfA not the organization to take the profession (if profession it be) down the chartered route, I wonder? Does this mean that the IfA needs some kind of reform, or is a completely new body proposed? I'm not totally clear what the point of that would be.
Charteredness wouldn't necessarily mean a 'closed shop' - that would require the style or title 'archaeologist' to become a protected title, like 'architect' (I don't think 'surveyor' is protected) but would go a long way to achieving that.
