Am thinking about this in an uber logical way this afternoon, so...
One to write a brief, one to provide a costing, one to conduct desk based research on the history of lights, one to recce the site and label all light switches as dangerous, one to open the light fitting, one to clean back and reveal the edges of the bulb, one to excavate (sorry remove) the light bulb (under the supervision of a higher one), one to plan the fitting, one to photo, someone to wash the lightbulb, one to analyse the lighbulb, date it and assign it a place in a typology, another to archive the light bulb, one to write a report on the light bulb investigation, another to approve it, one to display the light bulb and another to update the research agenda on light bulbs.
So finally, I cautiously conclude 17 archaeologists are required to change a lightbulb, excluding those standing around having a fag and drinking tea, commenting that a lightbulb they saw years back was much more intricate and well preserved.
And not to forget legions of archaeologist who will see the lightbulb, and declare it was all done wrong (while none will actually read the report so carefully structured around this illuminating gem of technology).
Forgive me if I have missed anybody
