At the risk of abuse from all directions, there's always the (rather thorny) option of selling off less academically interesting finds to finance future work? Maybe done by a central body with the money used to subsidise research excavations etc? - did anyone see how much glazed medieval floor tiles change hands for with collectors on the Antiques Roadshow Sunday before last? There must be thousands of duplicates sitting around in museum stores....
Alternatively if you want to subsidise a digging career you can win Total Wipeout, congrats to the archaeologist from Northern Ireland (Colin someone) :face-approve:
