Being a self employed archaeologist is really rubbish. Nobody wants you except for clients and they are made to. One of the problems that I constantly come up against is employing other archaeologists. I kinda feel that all archaeologists should be equal so I feel odd employing anybody. When you are in a hole in the ground you own it, you decide whats what and stick by it, its your responsibility then what you do with it. It seems to me that all a boss would do is stop you doing what you want to do and then they make you do what they want you to do and they make a living out of you. I don?t see how you can call anybody in that situation an archaeologist, more like they are demolition contractors.
Reason: your past is my past
