I haven't "bought" this ebook, but I'm sure that you'll have to set up an account with the retailer offering the freebie, Oxbow Books. There appears to be no direct link to the ebook.

Format: EPub, pdf.
Author(s): Paul Everill

Pages: 227 (physical book).
Ebook Rating/Number of Reviews (Amazon): No ratings at Amazon or GoodReads.
Price: $0.00.

Book Description (Amazon):
Since the increasing reliance on developers to fund archaeological work through the 1980s, and the implementation of Planning Policy Guidance Note 16 (PPG16) in 1990, British 'commercial' archaeologists have become increasingly distanced from their academic colleagues. This monograph examines the situation within contemporary 'commercial' archaeology and considers the challenges faced by those employed within that sector, including the impact of commercial working practices on pay and conditions of employment and the process of excavation and knowledge production. This monograph provides a fascinating insight into the working environment of commercial archaeologists and demonstrates how camaraderie and love of their job is often just enough to outweigh the adversity they face in the form of low wages, poor employment conditions and career prospects.
Comments: This is Volume 1 of the "HMP Research Series."
