Thanks David, guess did walk into it!
Just to explain what I meant by the Unknown Digger, here's what I said on the nomination thread:
'...I nominate the ?Unknown Digger? as a representative of all of those archaeologists who take pride in their job and do their job well despite everything. Who tries to deal with the present bleak situation in a positive way, and make a difference through their actions. Someone who thinks about what they are doing on site, how they are going about their work; someone who contributes to the team, and helps those who need training or help. Someone who acts as an archaeologist should, although it?s not always easy.
That of course suggests that the Unknown Digger has a job in archaeology, but of course regrettably he or she may not, and may never have one again.'
So it would hopefully cover Wessex diggers and Monty as well! I don't really like these sort of polls, as I don't see them as helping -why the supervisor but not the staff? I know its as a representative of the team, but its a bit Victorian? Not talking about Must Farm at all here, but I'd rather reward someone who has spent all year doing crappy evals and is still doing a quality job, than someone who has a cracking site to dig. But that's just me. Just jealous!
