The site staff are in fact, under-valued. Despite the fact that at the end of the day, on site is where it really matters. I accept that greater levels of responsibility should demand an appropriate remuneration however, in a country where all is well so long as the paperwork is in order and the rest is irrelevent, why not simply do away with archaeology degrees and just excavate sites using the unemployed?
