Archaeology and alcohol

[hmpf]

It has been remarked by people working in the profession that there seems to be a certain... link between archaeology and alcohol. Small wonder, I say, if they teach us *this* at university:

"The Sequence of Environmental Work during a Funded Project:

- Phone call to inspect site and sample.
- Give estimate on costs of 'assessment'.
- Do assessment (usually scanning).
- Write MAP II report suggesting potential and costs of full analysis.
- MAP II approved.
- Do full analysis.
- Produce interim report.
- Attend post excavation meeting.
- Write Final site report and bill.
- Go get drunk."

I thought that horsemen have a reputation like that exclusively. *g* but, yeah, digging in mud and dust for some month... I think, I would keep myself drunken, too. *hehehe*
