I'm coming to the reluctant conclusion that those people are actually in a different profession for us. I'm actually surprised when I meet representatives of those fields who have strong field backgrounds. Heritage Management in particular seems closed to experienced field archs.
If this is the case and their professions are developing independently, then we have to accept that they probably have skills and training that we don't and respect that knowledge. The flip side of this is that I am much less likely to defer to them about my area of expertise, field archaeology; something that is quite often expected by the less experienced ones. Newbies without a clue be warned.}
