I don't think that the IFA is to blame here. How can they be expected to issue advice on the legality of an action when the government department responsible is itself unable to clarify the law?
The IFA Code of Conduct states:
1.14 An archaeologist may find himself/herself in an ethical dilemma where he/she is confronted by competing loyalties, responsibilities or duties. In such circumstances an archaeologist shall act in accordance with the Principles of the Code of conduct.
...but of course, and has been stated since Saturday, the IFA Code of Conduct does not apply to non-IFA members, (unless they are contractually obligated to adhere to its Principles).
