How to tell if You're not the dig Favorite

So this is both a dig as well as a field school for ASU. I am in the position of being the only American who is neither an instructor or a student, as all the others are. I'm more like the Spanish who are digging with us, here for the experience, because I need more field work to put on my CV. What has been very interesting is to watch the dynamics that have been going on and developing as we work. Already there is a small group who has managed to wrangle the best site (zone 2). This means they have the least amount of manual labor, and they are actually finding things.

There are three sites here, and the majority of us are switched between them. There has already been some contention because those of us who started out at zone 4, spent quite a bit of time clearing the area before they decided to bring in a backhoe. Now, all of us are moving around except for the lucky few at zone 2, who get to stay where they are. A few of the instructors have been arguing back and forth about the fairness of this, and the larger issue of, are the field school students actually learning anything.

I have yet to figure out why the students at zone 2 haven't been moved around like the rest of us. We've all worked at every site by now. I'm also bored and haven't been finding anything so this has been the topic of conversation for the day. Things are tense on the dig to say the least. We're half way done right now, and everybody seems to be on edge.

So here's how to tell if your not a dig favorite:
1)You're dirtier than everyone else. Thus more manual labor, and less careful excavating which indicates the possibility of finding something.
2)You work very quickly, and they want you to work faster. There's probably nothing interesting in the area you're digging and they are unconcerned with you damaging anything.
3)You are moved when you find something.
4)You are moved to do more manual labor elsewhere.
5)Your site is not the one anyone cares to visit. Such as the newspaper, the news, interested tourists, the people running the dig, etc, etc.
And finally:
6)You're not learning anything, you're just digging.
