How about something on the fact that archeaologists are doing a very similar job to the other site workers and (most) won't be looking down their noses at them due to possible differences in educational attainment. We are in fact well used to being treated much worse that construction staff with respect to facilities and H&S and certainly don't feel superior in any way. Any visit to a new site entails a good amount of public relations work to ensure a good working relationship that could be better spent on dealing with the archaeology. It would be good for the editorial to destroy a few of those lingering old stereotypes.
