Volunteering can be the only chance a member of the public can get.Volunteering is an old institution that has fostered generations of archaeologists from the public at large.There are plenty of us that would be doing something else now had it not been for the opportunity to volunteer.There are plenty of field archs about who started as volunteers and after twenty odd years are slapping new grads and P.Os into shape!
Why should`nt members of the public have an opportunity to volunteer?Tiz a shared heritage ya know.If you want experience-volunteer to start with.A lot.I still volunteer because I get to dig in the Med! It breaks up the drudgery of a competative environment.I started as a volunteer as that was then a further requirement for undergrad applications.
