Bones...stick with it, there will be volunteer opportunities................in reply to Red Earth comment.......how can using a volunteer on a PPG16 project be damaging to the employer's reputation, lots of volunteers are used on commercial projects..............
An interesting assertion Monty!! Do you know whether these volunteers are being used within the terms of the IfA code of conduct on the use of volunteers in commercial archaeology or are you suggesting they are being deployed in replacement for paid archaeological posts?
If it is the latter then Red Earth is right that it damages the reputation of the employer in so much that it flies against established practice in UK archaeology, as most curators insist that IfA standards are applied, irrespective as to whether the employer is a RAO or the individual a member of the IfA.
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
