WE HAVE A WINNER..... Kerry from CAU and Must Farm. and she will get the personalised Toolkit from Past Horizons (cheers Maggie!)
The serious aspect to this is the following.
For too long... far too long, we... the fieldworker are never recognised for what we do, for what we find and the conditions we put up with. Tough, underpaid and undervalued (no don't say that ain't normally true!) Look at teh awards look at the reports... look at the congrats and where are we, the PBI? and by that I mean the Digger the supervisor, and yes the site PO ... we evaporate as teh great and the good take the credit for our work. This is actually an award to us all, (thank Chiz for torpedoing my cunning plan right at the start... can't pull wool over your eyes! )
I will be instituting a real Diggers Award this Year. so we can see and hear about the people who are out there who actually dig the damn stuff up that is so important . The BAJR Digger Award will be international, and have categories. So watch out in April as this field archaeology recognition is begun. We are worth more, we always were. but from the invisible digger--- time to be visible
Until then... the winners are all --- Dino ( sorry to have done that to you ...)
SO thanks to all. and get ready for Diggers Day on 1st Feb. details coming soon.
And Also watch out for a photo article with a difference... Must Farm... with the actual archaeologists ! :face-approve:
