In reply to Bob, never did i advocate paying intern salaries of less than BAJR G1 or using interns instead of paid archaeologists ! There is a place within archaeology for internships and these have proved very successful. With regard to hundreds of archaeologists on the dole, well this will certainly thin the ranks as in any other profession and things will turn around in time as they always do. A little optimism needed all round !
