Because, with an archaeological dig, it's not simply a case of digging a hole with a spade they you find a bone. They usually have a good idea of the skeleton they're expecting to find, so they need to plan out the site and prepare containers for an specimens they discover. Once they do find something - they cannot simply lift it out of the ground - it will likely disintegrate. The safest way to remove something is to move the earth away with a small brush, so as to not damage the specimen. That's what takes up so much time.
