A light-hearted look at the world of archaeology. I ask all ‘amateur archaeologists’ not to take it too seriously (not that you would). If you are a professional arkie please don’t take offence and fire off letters of complaint to all and sundry. By all means leave a comment if you wish … I’d be interested in what you think. Your views may even spur me on to further inane scribblings. Go for it!

Enjoyed reading (i assume) your article.
Yeah those Indiana Jones movies where he not only gets the gold but also the babes too! LOL
Gotta love that Hollywood!
As a related aside, a while ago i asked a local State Park if i could apply for a permit to detect some sites on their property.
"Only if you have a PHD in archaelogy from an accredited unniversity" , "provide a detailed report on the reason", "provide a detailed report on the historical relevance", "provide a detailed area perimeter", "provide persons involved", "provide a time frame" , "provide methods of excavation", "provide excavaion equipment", "provide a list on any vegetation destroyed during excavation", "on", and "on"......
.....was my answer!
There you go - you DO need a degree in digging then!
Who do you think does these scribblings if it isn't me?
Thanks John,enjoyed that, have the hat, but am more like Phil Harding than Indiana Jones
