Just a quick share of Marilyn's acceptance in a lovely public forum. I assume any further correspondence on the matter in hand would consistitue harassment and abuse.

A strong theme this afternoon has been pay vs passion. It’s an important topic and we all need to don more to help people thrive in archaeology. We have done much about creating a pipeline of new talent, maybe now is the time we think about how we retain talent & help it thrive
Dr. David R. Howell retweeted
Very...?
It's often said that ours is a field of passion.
Has anyone in our archaeological community reached a point of feeling "well paid", and how long did it take you to get there?

Question from Insta: How difficult is it to get a well-paying job in archaeology and where would you start looking? #AskAnArchaeologist
Dr. David R. Howell retweeted
Like the post, dislike the reality - wages in archaeology remain an ongoing challenge, and a huge issue in relation to #wellbeing.

So, three questions for you for my session:
1. What are some of the most underrepresented stories in British archaeology today? Where should we be looking? Which untold stories should be the focus for future projects?
#AskAnArchaeologist #FestivalofArchaeology
Dr. David R. Howell retweeted
2. Who are your archaeological heroes? Past or present?
Who do you look up to? Who has blazed a trail? Who has opened doors? Who has inspired?

3. This last one is more about settling an argument in my household this afternoon, and I figure the archaeological community will swing the poll, but...
What is the correct way to remove a tea bag from a mug?
