My limited experience of working within an archaeological unit that was a charity was that to the people doing the work it seemed like any other unit. Not enough time or money, efficiency being the key and sample excavation.
The only difference seemed to be at the top.......the directors and board of trustees getting fat by creaming off 'project management fees' and expenses etc to make sure the company didn't make a profit on paper.
Bet there is some sort of tax dodge for the already ultra rich involved too.
