a distraction-amazing or ridiculous? - Troll - 15th June 2005 As we are all gearing up for next years` BAJR conference and beavering away at putting the machinery of change in place-here`s a light-hearted look at some of the most amazing or indeed, the most ridiculous finds made on site. I`ll kick of then. I found a 1977 "Snoopy" car air freshener beneath Roman architecture. A mate of mine, came across a blue and white Walkers (salt and vinegar) crisp packet beneath Roman architecture. I was talking to my boss today who told me of a curious find made in a Med pit. A dogs nose. Not the pooch, just it`s snotbox. Bonkers..... a distraction-amazing or ridiculous? - Beardstroker - 16th June 2005 Nothing massively ridiculous comes to mind at the moment but I have been asked to do odd things with some finds. On my uni training dig, which will remain nameless, I was told by the supervisor, a disdainful third year who took everything far too seriously, to 3D record fragments of a Morris Minor headlight that was found in the topsoil. And No, he wasn't taking the P. a distraction-amazing or ridiculous? - Curator Kid - 16th June 2005 I knew that the "My dog's got no nose" joke was old, but I didn't realise it had potential medieval origins! I found a crisp packet in a Roman Drain under 2m of strat (brought in by Rats as the drain was still viable), and got all nostalgic about finding a "Marathon" wrapper in an engineers' test pit dating from the mid 80's. Best find ever was a realistically-moulded rubber section of female anatomy, complete with battery attachment and pump, in the overburden on a building site in Reading. I didn't have the nerve to put it in a finds bag though... a distraction-amazing or ridiculous? - deepdigger - 16th June 2005 At Raglan castle I found a big pile of religous paraphenalia, burnt paper pamphlets from the 1970's evangelical meetings,and this was over a metre down in a previously unexcavated gate house. Also a plastic Kermit keyring from a roman context, below a cobbled floor, can't even begin to explain how he got there, unless the romans liked the muppets!! deep a distraction-amazing or ridiculous? - BAJR Host - 16th June 2005 I found my ethics at the bottom of a pit...... only kiddin! Another day another WSI? a distraction-amazing or ridiculous? - deepdigger - 16th June 2005 Singalong: "When I'm down at the bottom of a pit in the blazin sun" (Meatloaf, (After)Steinman,Jim- Bat out of Hell, 1979, EMI). deep a distraction-amazing or ridiculous? - troll - 16th June 2005 This is excellent! A Meatloaf fan...Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,............................................................... a distraction-amazing or ridiculous? - monitor lizard - 16th June 2005 Stop right there! Before you go any further![:p] a distraction-amazing or ridiculous? - deepdigger - 16th June 2005 Troll, "I gotta know right now"............are you a fan or not? deep a distraction-amazing or ridiculous? - BAJR Host - 16th June 2005 "Couldn't Have Said It Better" Another day another WSI? |
