For a variety of reasons the IFA have got the backs up of many field archaeologists and as of yet I do not see them addressing this. To reiterate someoneelse's question how many " archaeologists" belong to the IFA and of those who do, is it because they feel they have to belong to get on professionally or do they truly believe in it's current structure and objectives?
there may well be some getting off their arses but they have yet to form an organisation with mass support that will improve the way archaeology is pracised or the pay professionals think they deserve. the ifa may well be flawed but it wont get fixed until enough join it to change it for the better - and there is nothing else
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers
