Howzabout all-over body condoms?

Thats v. good news.

I work at North Pennines Archaeology and we are off from the 19th Dec. until the 2nd of Jan. This is sort of paid, but we have to use up about five days of annual leave. Looks like no lay-offs, although someone might be going anyway and Jan. is quite quiet at the moment.

Would be interested to see what other units are doing...

I was curious to see that the 'carry on whingeing' letter refered to racism. Elsewhere we have mentioned the lack of other ethnic groups within archaeology. While there may be some racists within archaeology nearly all of my colleagues over the years would not be described as such. I don't think racism accounts for the whiteish bias, or am I wrong? Indeed, I bet there are several units would find it quite useful to have a better spread (Equal Op requirements and all).

Oh yes, the letter. I think that it was just a rejoinder, not the best written one, but there were valid points.

Many thanks steve. I can indeed confirm that you are a fully paid up member of the human race,

but seriously, I welcome you coming here prepared to answer questions. We all have preconceptions about each other.. from the
"but you rip it from the stratified soil - I am sure you could explain the topsoil and coil depths) to archaeologists just strip the topsoil with a JCB anyway... so why are so many worried about artefact recovery if they aren't going to look for them anyway...... et... ah good point!

I think the spirit of cooperation is what matters. and one the usual questions are dealt with we can move on to interesting ones.

is... I bet many archaeologists did not know about coil size ([:I] steady!!)and what that does. or how various metalic or even burnt stones can be 'tuned into'

anyway. welcome

Another day another WSI?

Kevin, the link's broke.

Seen on this evenings channel four news at seven. Female German archaeologist has been taken hostage in Iraq and shown on video. Does this sound like Archaeologists for Human Rights? Anyone heard any more?[?]

Have you tried the ultimate in archaeological delegation? Send in a minion first to warm the seat!!
