Couple of good friends of mine came up with this a couple of nights ago...
The Tank
Large glass box. Team of archaeologists create fills/cuts/pits/recuts etc recording what they do as they go.Tank is filled with such to the top. In a "back to the shop floor" spirit, MIFA types get to excavate it single context. Everyone else gets to watch through the glass sides.Interpretations/methodologies are aired during the process. Similarly, PIFA types don`t get away with the potential humiliation either.The more we thought about this, the more we wet ourselves........so, over to you.Design an archaeology reality show.........
