just a little note. have over 10yrs of commerical arch experience and am alway happy to pass on any knowledge etc to any who want to learn - thats how i was lucky enough to learn a great deal! however, after a number of site running jobs I found, sadly, that the majority of new diggers arent interested in any advice or guidance and think that a degree is all they need and have no need for on the job learning. It is very sad and disheartening and i fear greatly for the already shaky standards of field archaeology.
