I've heard that on the Continent in some parts the excavator is considered a technician and separate from the archaeologist who is more of a project manager.
I guess this makes the question 'Do we want commercial archaeology (specifically the excavation and recording process at the trowel's edge) to be considered a skilled trade or a graduate profession?'.
