in theory yes, though a lot of archaeologists are forced into this sort of commute if their local units don't have any work, and see it as preferable to staying away from home. Any obligation on employers to pay extra / provide accommodation would prejudice them against employing people who don't live locally to the unit office or site, resulting in (admittedly perhaps just a few) more unemployed archaeologists.
