Perhaps a lame question, but I was just thinking they can’t always be digging and sorting stuff?

Speaking as an American academic archaeologist (university professor) – we teach and develop curricula, we do lab work (analyzing the materials we find), we write articles/books or reports on our results, we write proposals to fund our research, we peer review other archaeologists articles/books/proposals, we edit academic journals, we do administrative things for our departments and schools, we train/mentor/advise graduate students, we keep up to date on research in our areas, we conduct archival work. I could probably go on, but I think I need a nap.
