Maybe I'm being a little too literal here, but for a commercial archaeological unit/company/what ever you want to call them to function without going bust don't they have to be, by definition, a business? And the one I work for most certainly operates as a business. Thankfully a slightly nicer business than the ones I was used to in my previous life.
I reserve the right to change my mind. It's called learning.
