Correct approach for a long career in archaeology - best time of day to actually get to meet people (if you've got a car, don't sit in it, get out there!)...actually since I've already had a long career in archaeology, I've moved on to Stage 2 which is taking the chance to have some banter with the plant guys etc who're doing the same thing, amazing how it can smooth a job along, making use of neutral time.
