The School of Jack - Sith - 7th June 2013
You see, in this world there's two kinds of people my friend; those with clip-boards and those who dig. You dig.

There are others:
* those who don't dig
* those with surf-boards
* those who bleed the milk of human kindness
* those coloured blue due to an accident
* blurred folk
* those deafened by their beards
* those who eat only cactus flowers at lunch
* those on this forum
* Jack the boyscout
* those belonging to no category
I'm not sure if that's all of them . . .

Some of the lesser known dialogue from Apocalypse Now
"You can either survey, or you can dig!" Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore
[URL="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000640/"]
[/URL]Willard:Are you crazy, Goddammit? Don't you think its a little risky for some fieldwork?
Kilgore: If I say its safe to survey this beach, Captain, then its safe to survey this beach! I mean, I'm not afraid to survey this place, I'll survey this whole f**king place!
Kilgore: I will not hurt or harm you. Just give me back the trowle, Lance. It was a good trowel... and I like it. You know how hard it is to find a trowel you like...

Does 'chivalric lord', which I've just noticed I've woken up as, come with any onerous fuedal obligations? Like having to turn up with a shovel-armed and liveried retinue (presume patched jeans are ok?) for 40 days service each digging-season? }

in a world where everybody digs why are you excluding supervisors, who are afterall lazy shed loafers who think they have earned the right to waltz around with clean hands.
and as for site directors - those bloated nerdowellies - words fail........
Indeed. See, coming soon to The School of Jack.......Archaeology 201: A guide to being a good supervisor/ Project Officer

These lessons are all well and good, but I think the School has skirted around the essential core question. How educated do you have to be to be an archaeologist? I don't mean necessarily in terms of formal academic qualification, but in terms of all round 'worldly knowledge'....for a profession that essentially deals with cultural interpretation, it seems to me that you must actually have read one or more books all the way through, and to kind of have an understanding of where, what and why humans do certain things in certain ways....some of the 'lessons' and techniques suggested so far could be performed by well trained rabbits...... and that doesn't by default make them archaeologists (or diggers!!)
