first day as a small-town sherif and you discover that some of the convicts you're transporting managed to escape in the night and since the penalty for letting prisoners escape is death, and the penalty for being late because you were looking for escaped prisoners is also death, you decide to free ALL of them and go hide out in the wilderness for a bit, except the convicts are super grateful so they make you their leader and it turns out they're decent guys who were exploited by a tyrannical government, so long story short you're crowd-sourcing for a peasant uprising and would anyone like to chip in?

3650th day and due to a series of unforeseen events you are now the emperor and founder of the han dynasty.

Weird thing I have done as an archaeologist 2

Teaching students how to describe soil colors, but you’ve got no clue what greyish-brown or brownish-grey is yourself

I’ve probably eaten dead Roman

Trowel throwing competitions

Giving names to skeletons you’re excavating

You’re on a constant field walk. Architecture, place names, street signs... You spot it all

Comparing weather app predictions with your colleagues

Collecting pretty stones, preferably quartz or silex

Being very possessive over a shovel

Trying to find north without a compass so the lot of us are standing there hoping the sun breaks through

Bonus addition: I’ve seen plenty of archaeologists who collect broken bits of ceramic smoking pipes and they hold competitions to who has more, measured by weight
