The majority of analyses investigating the professionalisation of scientific domains tend to assume the linear and general features of this transformation. These studies focus on the shift from a non–professionalised state to a professionalised state. This dual approach, however, crucially lacks some other aspects of the process of profession- alisation. This issue is discussed within the context of the growth of prehistoric archaeology in France from the 1940s, by observing scientific societies, national research organisations and their social networks. Looking at the scale of Georges Laplace’s career and that of his research group, which studied the typo- logie analytique method, this article demonstrates the benefits of a ternary model which also encompasses the modes of refusal of professionalisation.
