I read dirt. Dirt is everywhere, pay more attention! Geoarchaeologist #scicomm #geoarchaeology
"Triple fact checked"

Complete BS. There are straightup falsehoods and misrepresentations in both seasons.

They were hand-reared and had 0 fear of me. One of them took a hat off my head while I was hunched over working.

I wish Time Team had been a part of my life earlier! I didn't have anything like that growing up in the states, although my family owns a small landscaping business. I first learned about dirt there. My Dad jokes that my job is the opposite of his. He puts things in the ground and I take them out.

*I should add that I am irrationally terrified of goats, even cute baby goats. That photo, in my head, looks more like something out of a Hitchcock movie.

Some of the images I have planned, the alt text is going to look like a figure caption for a journal...

Will do in the future, apologies about that, posted this too quick.

The sondage was stepped back behind me, alot less dangerous than it appears in the photo. Also, the hole was not quite as deep as I am tall, again the photo looks worse than it was.

Thanks! It's a sondage through a Roman Basilica on a big gravel bank along an artificial harbor channel in Greece.

It was a nice trench, nobody could see me so I was very free to stare at the sediments. Micromorph sampling required copious amounts of hairspray.

Followed! Thanks for such a good summary of the situation. Not that the dude really wanted to listen...
