No, it is.
My experience is that even now the vast majority of new graduates fall into the 'think they know it all' bracket, and there are plenty who seem to have been brainwashed by academic staff into regarding commercial archaeologists as some sort of lower order of being and not really 'archaeologists' at all....personally I always take the greatest pleasure as a 'field' archaeologist in rubbing academics' faces in it when I catch them talking talking ill-informed c**p (don't even think about mentioning 'structured deposits', I may have to go and have a lie-down), at the end of the day it's us who produce all the data that they then willfully twist to fit their own private little agendas... :face-stir:
