Office folk would call us "Sticks & Bones" as well as Raggamuffins as if we strolled out of the Charles Dicken's novel. HOOOOOOOLY gently caress! That project sounds cursed ten different ways! I got started late so I'm only nine years in or so, despite being the "old guy" on the crew. I haven't worked there but I've heard that the US is one of the worst places to work, right up there with Great Britain and the middle east. I had some American's working on my crew this summer because the large engineering firm I work for bought their company and they waited half the day to build up the courage to ask permission to stop working in order to walk to the toilets, and then were shocked when I said they didn't need permission, just let someone know and then go. Edit: Of course a CRM arky from GB posted while I was writing this to chime in that GB is a tough place to work - I did my masters there and wanted to stay but could never have made enough working in arky to satisfy the visa requirements because it would have paid just barely above minimum wage. Here's one final round of curse tax about arky as a career: In most jurisdictions you need a university degree just to get out in the field and then rapidly find you're doing back breaking labour with no autonomy on an expedited schedule and getting paid less for it than the lowest paid dude on a typical construction crew... you know.. that dude. There is a real and serious debate over which shovels are best and it's a much broader discussion than you might expect. O-handles are apparently better for ergonomics. Leaverite is a slang term for something that looks like an artifact, but isn't. Also in use are the terms "Huckerite", "Tractor-fact", "Notafact", and "flying rock" (as in you shout "Looks like a flying rock to me!" as you throw it off site so no one else mistakes it for an artifact). Those terms are not the most respectful and can get their users in hot water on some sites. Mage 4 LYFE!

All I know about archeology is my best friend somehow seems to have redeveloped London's entire archeology survay system so it's marginally easier and quicker for billionaires to get permission to dig through 600 years of London history to build an underground bird sanctuary/dog grooming mansion/drag strip, because they can easily check to see if the site shares any characteristics with other sites and hence if it's actually worth protecting or not. Seemed very cool.

RoastBeef posted:This is about half a mile away from that site: I'm not surprised in the least. In one location of the project we came across a "purple dye". They never fully told us what that poo poo was, but we had to wear full body white Tyvek suits in that area to excavate. Also at time the grave shafts would fill with water and there was usually a rainbow slick of petro and other chemicals floating on top. At one time long ago Secaucus use to have farms that grew produce to feed to people of New York City. Now it's a wall to wall shithole.

I have done field work collecting insects and fish for science. Not as back breaking as archaeology, but I can relate to some of it. The plants mentioned above are not toxic, won’t burn or sting on immediate contact, but can still hurt you really bad if you don’t know what you’re dealing with. The plant juice is phytotoxic, it won’t cause a reaction on it’s own, but if you get it on your skin and get exposed to sunlight it can cause a horrible inflammation reaction with huge blisters and bad burns that can cause permanent skin damage. Image search for photodermatitis if you need to Giant hogweed can grow up to 3m (10 ft), and when you cut it, the plant juices just gush out.
