You could see it as a lesson in futility.. and then once drawing people into the concept that there is more to hisotry - then archaeology comes along and sweeps you off your feet with a hey nonny and a round of trench staring.
Understaing the past is complicated is good for people, (certainly works for me) and learning with them is even better... so we share the experience.
My fun in September is as follows (touch wood - and note... no battles)
Cousland Pottery - continued investigation with the village of an 18th century ceramic site
Pentland Old Kirk (does contain Covenanters) But final evaluation of apse end, confirming location with test pit and geophysics
Walk like a Roman - Following the line of Dere Street with sideways glimpses at Iron Age Settlements (basicly understanding the Roman Scotland as a reality)
Sheep Folds and Sheilings in the Lammermuirs.. continuiation of project to map and record early med ...er... sheep folds and sheilings
An Art / Archaeology event (TBC)
Couple of talks... including one about Designed Landscapes and another about the Picts (they aint that mysterious)
So Uo1 be happy that of teh hundreds of events.. most will contain no reference to 13th century battles or nuts.
Scottish Archaeology Month... it really is that good! I iagine you are quite busy during Festival of British Archaeology what with the ditich staring :face-huh:
ps Uo1 Please stop taking every thread and moving it... vulpes original point was harsh but fair and although it was not meant as such, I even changed the titile to better reflect this was not a nationalistic event
However you are deliberately targeting threads across this forum and twisting them... you are on a final public warning... I am sick of having to go through every thread, when you are quite capable of making good points.
