So Universities are not responsible for producing skilled field archaeologists and the commercial units are running with costs cut so close to the bone that training is pie in the sky. This leaves things to the individual if you want to be a good field archaeologist you have to find the training where ever you can either volunteering or paying for additional courses.
So how come so many people, me included, follow this route knowing that there will be no financial reward?
Isn't this at the heart of the problem? So many of us are so committed to archaeology that we eventually sellout in one way or another to stay in the profession or leave and at some level always regret it. It's a way of life not a job and there are always others out there desperate to do what we do
