What is the cause? The absolute worship of archaeology above all else and if your life is not dedicated to archaeology then you are not worthy. In my opinion this 'Dig to Live Live to Dig' view has been a major factor in maintaining low pay and the exploitation of archaeologists. It is a job not a religion.
