P Prentice Wrote:my question to the volunteers is 'do you want to work for nothing alongside people who are being paid to do it and if so why'?Sure, because at the end of the day I don't care if the guy next to me is paid or not, what I care about is the archaeology, and I'll take any chance I can get...I did move 10,000 miles for that purpose!
@Sith: I heard the same thing from a few people in Scotland, and from my local group down here in the south. I've even posted about it at least once before, although I think I used the term "amateur" rather than "volunteer".
