Today we will talk again about traditions in archaeological expeditions. In fact, there are few of them on a national scale. After the celebration of the archaeologist's day, the next most important thing will probably be the "dump" and everything that accompanies the completion of the work. Celebrating the end of a particular excavation or investigation. As in the case of a professional holiday, there is no fixed set of rules. Where they drink alcohol, they drink it, where there is a ban (this is an innovative trend from the 2000s, probably even from the 1900s, and archaeologists are also influenced by public fashion and in this case I do not blame) they limit themselves to tasty food. The only rule of the "dump" is that all participants in the work must be present at it, at a common table, if it can be organized. There are of course exceptions, especially in commercial expeditions to the south, where there is a very clear division between the scientific team and the workers, mainly among the cubic capacity, but the farther north you go, it is less. Naturally, the head of the excavation/expedition should lead the celebration. That's all. Otherwise, variations go from ordering a pizza and/or a glass of foam, to a very large feast. Depends on many factors, the size of the delegation, timing, atmosphere in the team, etc. If the boss decides not to celebrate the end of the project in any way, then the employees, and even the scientific team, will hold a grudge and probably hold a celebration themselves. As for other traditions at the end of work in the field, it is also worth highlighting a general photo of the entire team on the last day of work on site. It is also quite common to moisten the soil at an excavation site with strong alcohol, as a token of thanks, and many archaeologists are no strangers to superstitions, but in this case, it is often just a gesture of tradition. As I have already said, other ceremonies and customs may take place there. And sometimes they are quite original, but this is already too big a topic.
