Kel is right ,the job pool in archeaology is very limited and with people willing to do it for nothing or minimal wages ( I count my self amongst those) then until the industry is regulated or the demand outstrips those available for employment Iwould recomend that anyone contemplating a career in archeaology also makes sure they have another skill that is in demand outside of the profession. Make it something that enables you to take short term contracts and be able to dip in and out. This is a serious suggestion and is an effective means of surviving in archaeology. Of course there may come a point when you realise that you will have better job security and a higher standard of living persuing your other skill. Make no mistake there are far more archeaologists than there are jobs and this is unlikely to change even with the cut backs in university courses.
