to GK's coherent ideas, I also agree... though this does tend towards the GErman syste, where a 3 year course in the technical aspects of excavation do not make you an archaeologist. but rather a technician - and that sticks in ma craw!
I would however be happy with An Archaeological Technician (thems that do things to the earth) Archaeological Specialists (thems that have machines that go beep or magnifying glasses) and Archaeological Managers. (thems that wear suits and gortex, but win contracts )
A scheme that rewards "good practice" rather than just punishes bad.
much to contemplate
I absolutely agree
you missed out one but struggling to find the words.............them that research, analysis, publish, think, postulate, sometimes get dirty, sometimes use machines that go beep, sometimes do lectures, sometimes advise the other three??
