As a bit fan of prehistoric arhaeology I hate to admt it but one of the most interesting sites ive worke on was a ww2 gun enplacement!! Thought it was a rediculous job when got set out to do it and i didnt understand why it wasnt properly recorded before being partially destroyed and buried a few years earlier - still dont now i think about it...
But anyhow it was great digging it up everyone walking past had a story about what the site ment to them and memories of playing on it growing up and people whod been stationed there. It was fascinating. Could hav done without one old boy telling me how he'd conceived two of his three kids there tho - def needed a mind rubber ater that!
Told him the county archaeologist would love to hear about it tho and gave the guy his office phone number - im bad i know but made me laugh after the ca had given speell on public history and involment [:p]
