One thing we must all guard against.. is cutting any more corners.. chopping back on price.. doing less than is the very best... if we cut corners or are unethical then we may as well give up archaeology.
It is not a money making get rich scheme... and if we lose the one thing that makes us do archaeology... for what in reality is a few more pounds... then we have lost our soul.
I would (and just have in the past two weeks) lost two jobs worth thousands - becuase I could not in all honesty do less than the best. - not saying that those that won are doing so, but I value my services and won't go down. (now, I have bills to pay, and as maggie is reminding me, cash flow !! ) but I see my craft as more important.
