Since my early days in archaeology I have been told that the discipline is in "CRISIS". It has constantly been the case that people have bemoaned the pay, accomodation and working conditions and lack of experienced staff. There are obvious solutions to these problems if they were to be actually addressed! However, they never are and things go on pretty much the same (despite the fact that some of us at the ground level try and run our jobs in a manner that shows consideration to our staff). In respect to this you have to say that field work is probably one of the most consistent and stable work environments.:face-huh:
