One thing I'm not sure anyone's mentioned so far, especially if you do have an interest in local or at least British archaeology, don't forget that there are loads of unpublished developer funded reports out there (see OASIS etc, or better still visit the HER of your choice) many of which individually were not significant enough to be published, or contain some snippett of information that, combined with similar information, could probably say something quite useful. I'm slightly dismayed but not surprised by how little use is made of such vast bodies of information by the academic community.
I have seen at least one request for help regarding research on how PPG15/16 has affected the nature of archaeology and there has been research into modern archaeology, conditions etc, but not enough making enough use of the actual information that results from it.
