Surely the traditional 'rest time' pursuits of archaeologists, like spending hours on a train getting to somewhere to get absolutely s**t-faced (for many with the opportunity to get hideously injured in a battle re-enactment or whatever en route), then spend hours getting back with a hangover, are more harmful than just working instead? And I haven't noticed most of my recent workforces bothering to get anything like 8 hours sleep either....
Personally I find being on site far more relaxing than most of the things I do (sunday night and I'm absolutely knackered from the weekend again) - maybe that's why 'hobby' archaeologists like it?
