i havent compiled a cv for over 20 years but i have read loads and loads so this is an interesting thread insofar as it relates to employment potential (topic-ish)
everybody writes team worker and solo worker on their cv and almost everybody mentions their analytical skills - in fact most cvs are entirely interchangable when it comes to this sort of thing
what stands out for me are your interests and aspirations, what you spend your free time doing and where you want to be in the near future
skills acquired outside the narrow confines of archaeology are very useful in this respect
so - what transferable skills do archaeologists have? i would start with adaptability

If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers
