YOu will need capital investment... for example, tools, equipment, resources, etc... but like I am doing on one project..
HLF pay for things like portacabins, Toilets, tools etc... then there is match funding, funding for consultation , payment in kind (volunteers) etc. etc...
I get paid... which is only fair... and others (3 will get full self employed field staff rates) and of course there is money for the researchers, the samples etc... the publication...blah blah...
BUT... it makes no profit... nobody milks it... everyone has fun... a good job is done... and archaeologists go away with a decent (but not greedy) amount.
Start with a local group perhaps
