All of these equal No. 1:
Decent money (wage, overtime rate, travel expenses/paid travel, subsistance)
To learn new skills to do with archaeology (train me!)
Decent accomodation (no tents/shacks please)
To feel I did a good job (I'm a perfectionist)
This No. 2:
To discover something new (but not for 'Fortune and Glory!')
Everything else - irrelevant.
What about 'having some sense that what you do is worthwhile' (to someone other than the people on site doing it)?
