I suspect the lottery are doing the laughing, they get to play archaeology, community, history benefactors for ?6300. IFA recon that ?6500 does not get you an average evaluation, but somehow you can get to name drop every archaeological technique in the book: desktop geophys, evaluation, fieldwalking excavation and post ex and educate everybody in the community all about their history (not mine) and also be trained up archaeologists working to high standards way above my head. Hay all you diggers out there, give up now you lot are a joke, going around moaning about pitiful pay and conditions didn?t you know archaeology is child?s play. without very dodgy monies I don?t see how you can make a living at community archaeology. I can see how you make professional archaeologists look like overpaid jokes.
