More information on Archaeology Live 2006

[Toby]

Just to update everybody..

The website should be live in the next day or so (a big thank you to Lesley for all the work she has put in). The pages will have loads of information about the dig etc...

I will start sorting bookings next weeks, there are several reservations already. Most people seem happy with the booking process, but again ask if you are unsure.

I have sent a load of e-mails to previous contacts - apologies if you did/did not get one and did/did not want one.

There is a poster ready... contact me if you want to help advertise the project (all help is appreciated).

It is snowing here!

Cheers,

Toby

Hi Toby,

I can put a poster up in the archaeology department at Ediburgh if you like??

It's snowed here too...Headland sent everyone home from Kincardine because there was too much snow to dig...hmmm. There was more snow in Edinburgh and that was only a few inches!!

I'll be in touch about the dig sometime soon(ish) to sort out when I'll be there.

Take care,
Fee

I see the web pages are now live and looking good !

The snow has nearly all gone now but it was very pretty while it lasted !

I am suprised you are still posting on this site.. now you are a TT TV star... or at least background lurkerer.

Only joking... but it did look like there was an awful lot of 'staged knowledge'.

I am not letting it go to my head - honest ! Besides, lurkering and drinking beer is part of the job description for an archaeologist so I think I did OK !

'staged knowledge' is quite a polite way of putting it. I could think of one or two other ways

There was a lot more footage than was shown, obviously, and I don't think they really showed the most interesting 'scenes' that were shot. Also, they said there were no finds in the cow field trench, which was a bit of a fib. We had some domestic pottery sherds - mainly yellowy/green and green glazed stuff, that Mark Newman suggested was Humber Ware. I also found this
which was suggested by Mark to be possibly a stained glass window fitting of some sort. Alternative suggestions on a postcard, etc
