I'm willing to empty barrows and do heavy work, but I am about half the size of most blokes on site and although I hate to admit it, they can do the heavier work a lot more easily than I can.
One of the funniest things I ever saw on site was during a mamoth shovel and barrow session on a Roman site in t'North. Patronising middle-aged mature graduate tries to help similarlly aged wiry female of great experience with her groaning barrow. He makes it part way up the massive spoil heap before tipping up sideways, blocking the ramp. Guess who shovelled it all back in and took it to the top (and had to be restrained from taking helpful bloke with it)?
I have also worked with many female archaeologists who enjoy nothing more than practising the noble art of fop-busting their male colleagues.
