Sorry to be a killjoy, but presumably all these tasks already have suitably trained and experienced practitioners ready to do them, and don't need to import archaeologists whose skills may only partially overlap at best, and are often not even documented, being 'picked up along the way'.
We hear a lot about the cross-application of skills, but has anyone got any hard data to show that anyone outside of archaeology actually values us as a potential reservoir of skills and labour, or is it just a romantic bit of self-medication we like to dose ourselves with to numb the inherent futility of...Christ, what a miserable sod.
Real question, though!
