A very good job description there...
Consultants are archaeologists who perform a specific function (as laid out by Peter there) which is just like Diggers who perform a function or Surveyors or Enviromental archaeologists etc etc... they are paid better in archaeolgical terms but not in terms of teh rest of teh project team... sometimes embarresingly so
I once acted as a consultant for an Enviromental team (last year.... I decided to chance it and saif I would cost ?400 a day... they did not even blink and even said they were glad to see I was cheaper than they expected!... Thank god they had never worked with archaeolgoists before!) Before you all think I am drriving around in a Merc! I only worked 3 days that month... !
