I do see your point Roy but I agree with LadyJen, i think the term 'specialist' can be misleading in that it can be used to describe different categories or degrees of specialism, i would by no means class myself as a 'field specialist' or emphasise this fact on my CV - all i am saying is that I think field archaeology is a specialism simply because the skills that diggers have to acquire/learn/attempt to master to do the job that they do are 'specialist'. I know you can apply this reasoning to just about any job but i do not see that this devalues the term in anyway, but this is just my personal opinion.
