Quotes for archaeologists - Austin Ainsworth - 23rd December 2008

Several years ago I was working on a large site in London and became increasingly hacked off as the months went by, it seemed to me that I was being asked to dig more than my fair share of the larger features. While others were working in pairs or trios digging ankle deep gullies I was digging quarry pits, solo.

One of the books I read to relieve the tedium of the lunch breaks was Terry Pratchett's 'Carpe Jugulum'. One quote still stands out and sums up my memories of that site.

"The reward for toil had been more toil. If you dug the best ditches they gave you a bigger shovel".

Have any other BAJRites got any quotes which sum their on-site experiences?

Quotes for archaeologists - BAJR Host - 23rd December 2008

Well... in the Discworld vein.. and I ain't saying where!

"All dwarfs (or diggers) have beards and wear up to twelve layers of clothing. Gender is more or less optional."
-- (Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!)

Quotes for archaeologists - Dirty Dave Lincoln - 24th December 2008

Austin, I can sympathise on that as about several years ago it seemed I always did the mega features (on my own) and quite often got peeved by others not getting such to dig.In such situations the lines from the film 'Zulu' are apt:
Private "why is it us sarge? why us?"
Sergeant Bourne "because we're here lad,and nobody else-just us"
I will admit their is a slight difference between dealing with 'many features' and four thousand screaming Zulus all trying to kill you.
But the "oh well,we might as well just get on with it" attitude of Colour Sergeant Bourne is priceless.

Quotes for archaeologists - John Walford - 24th December 2008

Here are couple of appropriate Biblical quotes (militant atheists please look away now...)

Remove not the ancient landmark which your fathers have set (Proverbs 22:2:face-thinks:

He who digs a pit will fall into it (Ecclesiates 10:8, showing that even the Bible acknowledges Sods Law)





"Hidden wisdom and buried treasure, what use is there in either?" (Ecclesiasticus ch20 v30)

Quotes for archaeologists - leg11aug - 26th December 2008

Isherwood. "..quite passive, recording, not thinking." :-)

"...Ok, so ten out of ten for style, but minus several million for good thinking..." Z.B

Quotes for archaeologists - Bier Keller - 27th December 2008

"What you call hell, he calls home"

"Colonel Trautmann" in "First Blood", commenting on the fact that Rambo is a bit of a masochist and loves futile WB's in the p*ssing rain and sleet on the Scottish Borders

Quotes for archaeologists - leg11aug - 28th December 2008

Dug this one up (as it were..)

"Archaeology is the peeping tom of the sciences. It is the sandbox of men who care not where they are going; they merely want to know where everyone else has been."
Jim Bishop. Not sure who he was but guessing he wasn't a fan..
