Abstract
One of the principal objectives of the European Union (EU) is to allow the free movement of labour. In the early years of the twenty-first century, increasing numbers of archaeologists sought to take advantage of opportunities in countries other than their own, and the Discovering the Archaeologists of Europe project sought to examine how this mobility of individual workers was affecting archaeological practice in Europe.
