Lots to think about,
but I am still interested about some of the statements about permanent employment - Can you give us even rough guide to the numbers of companies that will ensure permanent employment? Can you explain if you only pay when people are working or even if they are not? Do you have access to the detailed understanding about developer-funded work, contract based archaeology, consultant operations and Costed tendering processes that would be required to offer this service? I realise you are at university just now, but I take it from your comments on understanding the needs of archaeologists you have worked in this field for many years.
I wholeheartedly support any venture that aids the rise in standards and pay in archaeology, but I can only support that which I fully understand? forgive my stupidity, but I still don?t grasp how it works in reality.
If you could talk us through a scenario? say you have 15 diggers, 2 osteologists an illustrator and 2 surveyors on your books to start with?.. that might help my simple mind get the hang of it.

Another day another WSI?
