Sounds more like the USC field schools in Camden during the 1980s,
though dancing on top of refrigerators replaced theory discussions, if I
remember correctly.

Or is this a new, weird form of reality show? Like MTV's "road rules"
meets the big dig? I already have a sequel in mind: "Temptation
Plantation" where a crew of hip etc archaeologists are plopped down in a
rural southern setting and forced to live in a rustic field house and
work in hundred degree heat all day, and drink beer and fight over
theory all night!  Who knows what strange relationships might result....
