Like ourselves in Croatia, we are starting with survey, and then try for permissions to excavate, will you have problems finding an excavation site?
For my mind, a rounded project that includes field survey, GIS, photography, topographic survey, research, test trenches (everyone loves to dig!) site drawing, illustration etc... that each year produces a product that each and every participant has taken an active role in contribution.
The opportunity to have a grounding in all the fieldskills, rather than 'just' digging another bloody villa... is a good one... Already in Croatia we are expanding skills to include buildings archaeology, environmental and also heritage/tourism synthesis
Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
