A thought.
Is an archaeologist always an archaeologist or only when he gets paid?
I know of an archaeologist, who while cycling to work in Milton Keynes found a 17/18th century gold mourning ring that had eroded out of a river bank... He was later paid for the ring via the archaeology unit he worked for. So it would seem because he wasn't at work (working) he was entitled to the award.
