Archaeological digs are absolutely fascinating. We enjoyed watching archaeologists working in Jamestown when we were there. I look forward to your follow-up pictures.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll bury some stones in the garden and get some archaeologists to dig up the rest of it for me.
ReplyDeleteArchaeology is fun and a necessity for understanding what went before us. If we don't know that, we don't know where we are going.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read the link, it said that visitors were going to be able to get their hands dirty....
ReplyDeleteDid you and Di join in the digging?
Great place to be...
Fascinating stuff Imac.... I hope you kept moving or you might have ended up as an exhibit. ;O)
ReplyDeleteMac: Quite a group watching the dig.
ReplyDeleteI love the first photos. Yes, they are so exciting. Makes me want to go out in my yard with a shovel.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the archaeology dig I was part of a zillion years ago. They are probably digging up evidence of me from the 70s now.
