Well, any decent supervisor should be able to spot the lazy people and move them to work under more direct supervision, with plenty of butt-kicking.
Having spotted them, it's hard to get rid of them as far as that particular site is concerned; however, short contracts in archaeology do have that one advantage, as long as you make the problem known further up the chain.
On motivation - anyone motivated by money wouldn't be working in archaeology in the first place. Even the consultants (like me) usually made the switch from fieldwork more for reasons of job security rather than cash. We do it because we like it. Lazy people will be lazy whatever job they are in, and however well paid they are.
