Maybe its all about advertising. I don?t advertise myself as a self employed archaeologist as that would suggest that non self employed archaeologists exist ie all those working for somebody pretending to do archaeology. I advertise myself as an archaeologist. What I need is an organisation which represents archaeologists and nobody else. Once we have the concept of an archaeologist established then anything that they do is archaeology.
Reason: your past is my past
