I'm working on a study of Bronze Age axes, and I find it a little hard to articulate why.
* I don't get paid.
* Another journal paper won't make any difference for my employability at this stage.
* Almost nobody knows or cares that these axes exist.
I think the main reasons I do this is
* It's fun.
* I'm one of the few who can do this well.
* I've dedicated my life to expanding our scientific knowledge.
