I like Brendons' answer. and without getting into semantics about best field archaeologists. this is pretty comprehensive about what it is about, what it does, who is doing it and why.
You can take an archaeologist to fenland, but you can't make them agree. (um...yes)
I should say that Rampart Scotland is more traditional, with a spin - a paying fieldschool with additional social people centric aspects such as free or donation based projects ( see here: http://www.eastlothiancourier.com/news/a...riffside-/ )
WE are feeling our way into a new way. DigVentures launched with a fanfare on an iconic site. We are just pootering along and as |Marcus says, building up a reputation slowly. Both ways are possible... and I do hope that the end result is more archaeology - more public profile and at teh end more work.
