  1. Hey thanks for the welcome ! Aww man, you really should go it's brilliant! I went April time a few years ago, it's pretty bleak weather but the site is so beautiful, and always expanding. I was working on the first layer of a stone fort, it was amazing to go from a plain field to the bones of someone's homestead in a matter of days. Yeah he's a right laugh! I think Justin was taking a team after mine, was great to work with Andy though I really got a great insight into archaeology, it isn't as easy as Time Team like to portray it haha! It's a shame I so wanted to work with geophys but I have a metal plate in my ankle (A Level piss up gone wrong) and can't use it. That's cool, have you got to excavate anywhere interesting? Yeah very true, I began to study archaeology and ancient history at uni but it just wasn't for me, I know that I like the glory and romance but the tedious studying of strata and the "actual" archaeology wasn't my thing! I quite like aerial photography though and physically it's exciting and challenging but no use if you can't interpret what you find properly. I'm going to study Classics, but next year as I just had a baby girl, I think it's the literature and sleaze that's my real love to be fair...back to the Langenscheidt for me! Are you fond of the literature too? em xo
  2. Hey everyone! I'm Em, long time ancient history nerd, but particularly the Romans since I visited Bath in Somerset - I love to study their state religion and literature. Ovid is probably my favourite author with his scathing wit and bed crawling adventures. Thought I'd join up to chat with other romanophiles as my mates are sick of hearing about it! Excavated Vindolanda, a fort along Hadrian's Wall with Andy Birley I like the graft but not too keen on the science. What's the craic with everyone? em xo
