The possibilty to go on field schools and other forms of archaeological projects range from the fre to the costly.. the choice is there for us all. On a recent project, the whole thing was financed by a generous husband and wife - who joined us on the project. THey got the expedition of a lifetime - and we got a project. Fair exchange. Others on the project came with skills.. others offered what they could. It is this mix and interst that worked.
The opportunities exist.. it is of course more expensive to carry out projects in 'wilder' places. And yes.. risk is always there, but thats life!. My time in Yemen was risky, the further I travelled to MArib... but I knew what I was getting into... and would have it no other way. (cost me though!)
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.
