If you have the spare time look at your skill set and see what archaeological research you can do in your own area. i.e learn the local records office, SMR and how to use O.S maps etc all the stuff behind desk-top assessments.Keeps you focus while learning the ropes of part of the job. You get to know contacts that way and mind land you a job. Get into landscape and practice recording and drawing. making notes. Best of luck
