I've been a devotee of dirt team since it's inception - at least since it's arrival on our shores - and own more than a few of the dvds, which I watch repeatedly. there is great delight for me in seeing ginger phil and the others leap about excitedly over a slightly different shade of dirt, or minute piece of pottery. besides, the sheer fact of all that archeology under the topsoil of every square inch of Blighty just dazzles me to bits.
yes, wilms. would LOVE to study it. didn't, back then, cause you know ... NO JOBS.
pparently you need about 27 postgrads to your name to stand the remotest chance of gainful employment. really, it's not a vocational thing, is it. more like studying (snicker) 17th century french poetry. friend of mine did both anthropology AND archeology. do you think she's ever earned so much as a dollar in pursuit of either/both?
definitely one of those lady of leesure pursuits, the archi. soul food only.
..studying it?

but Baldrick never manages to find much other than a stone wall & a chipped plate.
ReplyDeleteah yes, and it's to some degree baldrick's fault!

chum of mine did study it, and can confirm that "no job" thing. Not even just "no jobs", but there's a queue up to even volunteer.
ReplyDeletezactly!
