The Borg Collective - monitor lizard - 26th June 2009
So, as it's Friday, it's summer, and the office is clearly feeling a little frisky, here's a question for you:
What's the collective noun for archaeologists?
Answers on a postcard, please....

A sneer?
A bitch?
A stab?
It is impossible as archaeologists don't talk to anyone ??

What about a Federation ... oh... contraversional!
Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.

a dig?
a smear?
a grumble?

I looked at a couple of available lists on websites (e.g. http://www.didyouknow.org/people/collective.htm), but there doesn't seem to be one out there. This, of course, gives us total freedom to make one up.
How about 'assemblage' - or is that just too dull? :face-thinks:

A Type Series?

I've always thought of a small group of archaeologists as a 'bucket', or possibly a 'shovelful'.
A larger group could be a 'barrowload', while a very large group (the IFA conference?) could be the 'spoil heap'.

a matrix?
a waste?

Perhaps we should consider the collective words for folk covered in mud, folk who smoke too many tabs, drink too much Special Brew, folk who ejaculate prematurely at the sight of a pointy rock, pot sherd or chunk of beam engine. If we take the sum of all these words and rearrange them on the back of packet of Woodbines, I reckon we'll be there.

I better not show my team any of the finds if thats what get up to with them
No ideas for a name though, i would vote for Waste
