Due to the intellectual, physical, and emotional demands of field research, those doing this work need to strategies to monitor and maintain their own mental health before, during, and after a field season. Moreover, they should have a framework for supporting their colleagues. This review article will present a framework for assessing the mental health hazards and the reactions, both positive and negative, to fieldwork. First, it will use U.S. epidemiology to show that most field teams are at risk. Second, it will frame the field season both as a workplace and wilderness exposure event and discuss the elements of the field research environment that can be therapeutic for some but toxic for others. Third, it will discuss the psychological impacts of travel and reintegration as they are pertinent to the practice of archaeology. Research will be presented in order to guide evidence-informed policies for the field research team to improve the mental-health readiness and resiliency of the research team. Last, it will provide guidance on how to manage the anxiety caused by separating from social media platforms.

心理健康和实地研究团队

由于实地研究的智力、身体和情感需求，从事这项工作的人需要制定策略，在实地考察之前、期间和之后监测和维持自己的心理健康。此外，他们应该有一个框架来支持他们的同事。这篇评论文章将提出一个框架，用于评估心理健康危害以及对实地工作的正面和负面反应。首先，它将使用美国流行病学来表明大多数现场团队都处于危险之中。其次，它将野外季节作为工作场所和荒野暴露事件，并讨论野外研究环境的元素，这些元素可能对某些人有治疗作用，但对另一些人则有毒。第三，它将讨论旅行和重返社会的心理影响，因为它们与考古实践有关。将介绍研究，以指导实地研究团队的循证政策，以提高研究团队的心理健康准备和弹性。最后，它将提供有关如何管理因与社交媒体平台分离而引起的焦虑的指导。
