I'd go more for bob's level of knowledge, than David's extensive list. There are vocational degrees if you just want to know how to dig, bradford being the obvious example. In fact, if you just want to know how to dig, why not just volunteer/get a job in field archaeology? (not this month obviously). A lot of that stuff can be covered in written assignments, though, perhaps as part of a 'professional practice' module.
