Good stuff - I think any award given to someone who can actually engage kids with archaeology is well-deserved. I have tried to get my own two little [fill in adjective of choice] interested for a couple of years now, and its bloody hard work.
I'll break 'em in yet, though - they'll not defeat me [bit of Vincent Price hysterical laughter there].
On that topic, much as I disliked the recent, and now-dead, BBC Robin Hood series, it has helped in bringing castles to life for my little boy (like Robin of Sherwood did for me) - more than I've been able to do. Sobering thought, that!
