In your opinion, what would you say is the worst part of being an archaeologist? Akosua Asomani

The worst (and really the only bad) part of being an archaeologist is having to deal with the weather. If it’s good then everyone is happy, you can get on with digging and recording easily and it’s great to be able to sit outside at tea breaks. If it’s cold and wet and windy than you’re always worried about damaging the archaeology and it just makes everything much more difficult when you, the tools, the vehicles and all the records are covered in mud. And you can’t dig a flooded site!
