Just a bit of fun, and to see where the majority lies. What is everyone's favourite archaeological period?

I just love the Romans, small fellas but damned industrious.
Also you're guarenteed to find lots of debris too!

Definitely! There's the Neolithic, then there's all the stuff that came after the Neolithic. Someone said something about pre-Neolithic, but I didn't get the joke.

Well I prefer the Anglo-Saxons. Nice unclear archaeology, ambiguous historical sources, occasional bits of delicious treasure. Wicked. Shame about the Normans coming along and spoiling it all.

Come on, where have all the Romanists gone? Is the archaeological profession still on some kind of post-imperialist guilt trip that refuses to acknowledge anything resembing an empire? Roman archaeology is the best. Every now and then it gives you just a hint of something a bit more exciting to dig than another post hole.
