Weird thing I have done as an archaeologist 2
Teaching students how to describe soil colors, but you’ve got no clue what greyish-brown or brownish-grey is yourself
I’ve probably eaten dead Roman
Trowel throwing competitions
Giving names to skeletons you’re excavating
You’re on a constant field walk. Architecture, place names, street signs... You spot it all
Comparing weather app predictions with your colleagues
Collecting pretty stones, preferably quartz or silex
Being very possessive over a shovel
Trying to find north without a compass so the lot of us are standing there hoping the sun breaks through
Bonus addition: I’ve seen plenty of archaeologists who collect broken bits of ceramic smoking pipes and they hold competitions to who has more, measured by weight

Things I hate about archaeology -as an archaeologist-
Ungodly hours changing every week. What healthy sleeping pattern?
Rain that just keeps pouring for hours and hours with material that’s water sensitive and a boss that wants you to continue. I don’t work well when I look and smell like a street dog
Working on “your field of specialty”. Don’t think it’ll ever happen to me.
People with no knowledge of your line of work that decide everything for you
No one knows what archaeology is about, no one wants to know. Worse is being declared mad.
Every archaeologist has OCD. Which makes it hard to please yourself and your superior
Why does sand end up everywhere?
