I think you are asking the wrong question though. Maybe the question you want answered would be: Would you accept a more senior position in an archaeological organisation if it meant giving up field work completely...for ever? I would guess a lot of people would answer No....
how is your pension looking? what will you do if you put your back out for good? can you step into post-ex when it suits you, do you have all the skills you need, or will you be forced out of the job you hold so dear?
