Dont leave steel toe cap boots &/ or wet jackets overnight in a metal box of a site hut - road to hypothermia 10 secs after putting them back on
Don't use partners/ parents good cutlery as digging tools - road to death or serious injury after you are found out
Dont' try to sharpen / grind down a new trowel to look as if it has seen alot of action - you just look a prat
Also I second the point about the GOOD biscuits!![:p]

Just because you are large and male, does not mean that you require a huge tool box. What do you keep in there? Mine is 16inch, yet men with huge boxes still nick my gear!!???
Leaving 'fragrant' socks hanging up in the site hunt (no, I am not making this up) is not the way to make friends and influence people.
Niether is using the phrase 'can I come down your hole?' as a request to drop into my waterhole to look at my cool bit of pot/bit of fencing/articulated dog etc.
If your an aspiring supervisor - acting, assistant or otherwise, if you don't buy your minions lots of nice bisquits and/or donuts we will all hate you and bitch about you behind your back.

Amber, Supervisors have more to worry about than minions bitching behind their backs, such as what they are going to point at the next time the client or PO makes an appearance.

Two coats is also a good idea just in case one gets wet...What is this...serious lame top tips for archaeologists. Do we get a voucher for the Daily Mail and our mug shots published?

new tip:
Never poo on a portaloo during blasting in adjacent quarry-provides one with an unwelcome blue(ish) stripe across your shoulder (real advice this-ended up wearing colleagues waste once..)[xx(]

BAJR tips...
35. Wear Knee pads.. it may not look cool but it is better than kneecaps pointing to either side of your legs later on!! (I know!!!)
36. Fingerless gloves with the slip over flap...mmmmmmmmmmm toasty
37. Learn the slipknow for tight string sections!
38. Never sit on damp ground.... you will havve piles of trouble!
39. Wait until the end of a site to ditch your girl/boyfriend.... trust me... you do not want to spend weeks being hated by half the site and laughed at by teh other half!.. also makes new relationship a tad strained!
40. try not to use the same tool that you dug teh cesspit with to spread your butty with.
41. Ask only questions that will make your supervisor look like a Tw@t
42. Talk to each other... its the only way to discuss a site. and stay interested in your little section
43. Make sure you know what you are doing... and if you make a mistake... say so... A mistake addmitted to is as good as doing it right... not saying is like trashing a site with a JCB!!
44. Always tell people how great BAJR is (B) ok...optional!!)

46. dont tolerate health and safety issues that are a threat.Dont take anyone`s word for safety until you`ve read their risk assessment.Then question it.
47. Developer/archaeologist/bob the builder/county mounty/royalty/God-if they`re behaviour poses a risk to yourself, do something about it.Don`t sit in it resigned to the fact that it always happens anyway.
48. Despite rumours to the contrary, archaeologists have the right to certain amenities-ask why they have`nt been provided.A lot.
49.MOST importantly-have a life outside of work...
