Of course, if temporary contamination engineers were able to improve their professional standing, hopefully as a result improving pay, conditions, and prospects, and perhaps be able to make a bit of profit (I know many archaeologists think this is a dirty word, but bear with me - I'm not sure how that would work in some cases as well) then they might be able to think more about how the public is engaged at the time it happens, without having to always look at the pennys. Just a thought. There are other non-archaeological companies that are able to provide money for community projects, just because they want to not because they feel obliged...
