Quote:quote:However I go back to my original point that a unit which pays low wages and doesn't invest in its staff will ultimately do worse archaeology than one which does. This is because demoralised staff and under-resourced projects cannot possibly compete with highly motivated staff and well-funded projects. OK in the short term they will pull through with enthusiasm and 'dedication' but you can't ask anyone to perform over and above the call of duty as a matter of courseposted by Post-Med Potterer
There is some variation between units - perhaps due to different management philosophies (?) - but the vast mass of units pay poorly (and the vast mass of units do the vast mass of archaeology). I don't recognize the picture of a 'quality' end of the market with high wages and decent conditions of employment. Where are all these units?!
