Sound remarkably similar to the situation in the late nineties with my year of graduates. I mourn the loss of Troll as the most recent of the dearly departed of our year from the profession.
It may be that there is some university out there which is producing particularly battle hardened field archaeologists which stay in larger numbers. Smells like a subject for a survey: which uni and how many years in the field...
