It seems the coiney lobby group the Ancient Coin Collectors' guild (ACCG) is having trouble sorting out who is who in the heritage world. They've just issued about a month overdue a press release (written by John Hooker?) which announces: 'American Institute of Archaeology Under Fire from Watchdog Groups for Lack of Transparency' . Most of the rest of us know the institution to which the dullards are referring as the Archaeological Institute of America. As for the message, it seems to me that there is as much confusion about the position of the AIA and the American Anthropological Association over the Federal Research Public Access Act of 2012 and its relevance as over the former Institute's name (the latter is not mentioned in the ACCG press release).
Well, so far the ACCG's embarrassing display of ignorance has reached just 69 places on the Google search engine, but hopefully that number will rise and more and more people will be scratching their heads and wondering just who these people think they are.
Note also that coiney fave PAS is also worried about having everything out in the open.
To which "watchdog groups" do the ACCG refer?
UPDATE 24th May 2012:
It seems that the Guild of Coin Collecting Ancients likes people to see it as an infallible organization. It is now explained by Alfredo De La Fe that the mistake appeared "somewhere between the final draft and its release". That is, as the coineys always claim, it is somebody else's fault not their own. (In that case they'd be justified in asking PR Newswire for their money back so they can re-release it with the wording they actually sent, no?)
and of course we should also mention that the ACCG seem not to have been aware that about a month earlier, the 'Archaeological Institute of America Back Tracks on Stance Against Open Access'.
