Why would the locals (especially the parents of teenagers) have objected to the tearing down of the copse? The only use for something like that is a place for the teens to go hide to smoke, drink, and make out, etc.

one tenth of the geo phys finds nothing in a huge field is no time to panic. take a deep breath. calm down. you found mosaic near the copse. look there.

Mark Guy's words.

What about having done the Geophys not in the beginning of those three days, but before? And doing the testpits not so tiny small as they are dug? Or digging tiny small pits in bigger trenches as Phil did? It's not the proper way of digging such an important building, even if its mostly covered by modern houses.

Tony is just doing his job, really. Well, one of his jobs. He's the narrator. He's also the everyman, asking the questions the audience would ask. He's also the explainer, putting things in words the audience needs (you can see him doing that really well here, when Phil talks to the schoolkids). He's also the gadfly: when things go well, he asks if that is all he will be given, or if they really have things right; when things go slowly, he asks what's wrong. He's also the court jester, joking around and teasing everyone about their successes and their failures. It is ridiculous to ask one person to do all this, much of it essentially live. And yet Tony succeeds at it. So when he is being rude to someone, there is a reason, and he's working partly from a script for production reasons. He's not doing it to be mean. And you can see that all the archaeologists know that.

Obviously modern farm plowing has reduced all the Roman pottery to shards. The antiquarians found numerous whole pottery, but all modern digs they are just tiny pieces. The whole notion they 'dropped them' and then they were broken up is probably not true.

@Libbathegreat

Жыл бұрын

Even in secure Roman contexts undisturbed by later plowing, when you dig their ditches and middens, they're FULL of broken pots. The Romans made a lot more pottery than the cultures that came before and after them (in Britain) and they broke a lot of it. Pottery was highly disposable to them, the way we view plastic plates today. You do occasionally find prestige pieces that they've mended with lead rivets, but mostly they just chucked it out. You only tend to find whole vessels in graves/cemeteries and ritual places (temples, shrines, springs etc). What's unfortunate is that a lot of vessels in those contexts probably survived whole in the ground for the better part of two millennia, only to get busted up by deep plowing and destructive industrial activity in the last 100 years 😕

Even if all GPS satellites fall out of the sky you could still take a set of "old" GPS coordinates and find that place on a detailed map with proper grid reference. It's not like the old OMEGA system that used radio frequencies to plot a point - those coordinates are of no use today because you need those exact radio transmitters to find the location you are looking for, and the transmitters were turned off in the late 1990s. However 37.422°N 122.084°W will always be 37.422°N 122.084°W no matter if the GPS system is turned off (those coordinates are for Google HQ, by the way).
