LOL - I kind of figured that! Have worked a couple of contracts myself, more as the lab technician who got to help the field crew every now and again, but not much. Also happen to live in probably the worst archaeological spot in the US (at least as far as potential sites) - the Texas Gulf Coast. When the Karankawa were your basic hunter/gatherer nomads and the other tribes only seasoned in the area for brief periods, theres little to get excited about until you start hitting historical archaeology.

Know anything about working in a museum??? LOL LOL LOL

I worked the other end of the biz as a travel writer flown around first class, entertained by govt tourist offices in various countries. Everything topnotch on those press trips including great hotels and restaurants and PhD guides on daytrips to sometimes exotic spots. We were expected to write highly complimentary travel articles for various magazines to pay back our hosts. I got bored with using the word "delightful" and quit after three years. Now I wish I'd stayed with it.
