Where do Archaeologists take their holidays?
For many pro and amateur archaeologists, summer is the chance for a busman's holiday. They seek out warm sunny spots with bags of archaeology, call the local university in the area they are visiting, book a flight and pack a trowel.
While a few behave like ordinary mortals and lie on the beach with a beer and the latest Tom Clancy others are generally found sweating at the bottom of a warm midden in the med or the tropics.
Having asked my contacts where they are going this year, here is an unscientific list of the top vacation destinations for Archaeologist types.
