Archeology is a field of study and a career path that takes time and devotion to pursue. Your insinuation that this is somehow analogous to sexuality is moronic.

And getting to grips with people who lived 200 years must seem boring when you're already doing the same with people who lived 20000 years ago.... If music be the food of love, play on!

Wouldn't the exercise of one endeavor supplement the physical needs of the other? I think the two would be an unbeatable combination, and yet I can find no examples....yet.
