While visiting folks, I managed to get some practise in Australian archaeological methods (this is what they get paid big bucks for Down Under):

PPE? You mean his "well 'ard" hat? Special issue, along with the low-vis tee shirt...

Do you think someone should point out to him that most of his JCB's been half-inched while he's been concentrating?

Oh dear, has rhyming slang finally joined all those other extinct languages? In report-speak that'd be 'pinched' then... B)

Oh. I thought I was going to learn some useful archaeological term to do with JCBs.

In my experience you don't have to go to the other side of the world to practice Australian Archaeological methods, you do it much closer to home, I gained certificates of competency in the Australian Archaeological methods that you depict in your photograph at Broughty Ferry (just outside Dundee, Scotland) almost 30 years ago, although competent - my experience was limited to the reach of the digger arm and bucket.
