You need archaeologists to consider themselves self employed. All the complaints on bajr that apparently need a union or the curators to monitor are about employment issues. Is there a possibility that employment and being an archaeologist does not mix. PAYE phaa in your dodos.
Its nice to see that the oasis contractors list is starting to gather “names”.

interesting....and fundemental - i wonder ... is archaeology becoming self-justifying, a means to keep archaeologists employed, a self serving exerscise where the existense of archaeologists is the sufficient condition for archaeology to be done ---- rather than justified by social, academic, and research parameters?????????

If archaeology is professional, as opposed to amateur, then onely yes the conclusion is that for taxation purposes what I as an allone archaeologist does must be archaeology. How else could I fill in my tax returns. For purposes of National Insurance I must declare my state of self justification within six weeks or pay fines.

the existence of archaeologists is the onely sufficient condition for archaeology to be done.

The question is can archaeology come about without an onely archaeologist?

No
