It's all go in the Guardian. Now, they have a full page on volunteering in Spain in the Saturday travel section. Tempting their readers with the intro "Join archaeologists in Spain, and you'll find the vests tighter, the tans deeper, and beers more plentiful than on any Time Team excavation".
Is this how archaeology should be sold to the volunteer and will they be disappointed as a result when they get there? Certainly, on the Ukraine dig that Past Horizons covered in an earlier issue, the photographs showed women wearing bikinis and men stripped to the waist.
