Absolutely !! if these folk are not interested in what they are digging they should make way for less experienced people who are. It seems the sneering/graffiti types (we've all come across them ) forget that the client is actually paying their wages !!
Or possibly why they're there in the first place. We could all get paid more (and probably be more appreciated) elsewhere.
I had a long think a while back about not staying in archaeology. I stayed because it was something I enjoyed (I like working out which feature cuts which and how it developed) and also because being an archaeologist was an important part of how I perceived myself.
I try to work on the 'do as you would be done by' principle. If I'm met by disinterest and agression I try not to reflect that back, but it can be very hard!
