Agreed trowelhead, consultancy can be tremendously rewarding. I think it's a healthy thing that we get to mix with other disciplines. Field archaeology by contrast seems a very closed little world looking back on it. I had a mixed time in the field and consultancy is mixed too, with doing a good job a rewarding experience but being occasionally ignored by some colleagues in your own company definitely a down side
Dr Pete - there was no need to be so defensive. There has been a lot of abuse levelled at consultants on this board, mainly from the ignorant, but there's no doubting the work we're generating for field archaeology or the hours we sometimes have to put in.
