I'm guessing the majority of field archaeologists have a vested commercial interest, as they probably work in commercial archaeology and want to continue getting paid for doing the job they love doing.
As to a 'substantial and significant [define significant] publication/research record', I suspect that the majority of field archaeologists, as they again are employed in the commercial sector, ain't going to get the chance to produce such a body of work. I may be wrong though - I'm new to all this, and am faintly amused by the animosity (and occasional, dare I say, narrow mindedness) that sadly inhabits this wonderful business/profession/vocation/whatever you call it. :face-stir:
I reserve the right to change my mind. It's called learning.
