Also to Bones. Offering to work for nothing may endear you to some employers but does little for your reputation amongst the remainder of the archaeological profession. Especially in these difficult times.....Maybe you need to rethink that part of your 'determined to be an archaeologist' strategy
Although, to be fair, there's a big difference between volunteering on developer-funded projects and on say research projects. If you were taken on as a volunteer on the former it would be more damaging to the 'employer's' reputation than yours, Bones.
