Look forward to it....and in the case above I smell an 'anthro' on that team.... because your right the generalist 'archy'.... avoids religious and theological investigations like the Juarez clap. Unless they have been specifically sub trained (and then funded by religious institutions) and generally that's the lads from the Private religious schools..with that in their background.
 
Thanks

Nice stuff CV.  It's not common to see an arch. take on something like the religious practices.  I have a special interest that hopefully, I'll be able to share soon.

Explorer David Thompson's first trading post discovered in Manitoba

 
Excellent. Thompson was an early hero of mine and it's delightful that the man's accomplishments have restirred interest.

Thanks for your coments.
 
 
 
The operative phrase is "culturally significant".  Apparently, Manchester is one of those places where you can't put a shovel in the ground without finding something.  Coins, oil lamps etc. small artifacts.  The Gov. only gets twisted over things like the Staffordshire Hoard. 
 
In the US it varies from state to state.  Unfortunately, it all comes down to enforcement, and the money available to investigate and prosecute.

I continue to be amazed at Roman finds 1500-2000 years old still being found almost with rediculous regularity in Britain. Somethings up! End of Days?Tongue
 
Rare Roman altar stones uncovered in Musselburgh
 
 
 
 
I have several friends who are landscape gardeners in the UK.  2 of them work out of Manchester, which means "Main Camp".  They have an extensive collection of Roman coins and other small artifacts that they have collected over the years, just from cultivating and maintaining peoples flower beds.  2 years ago they had it appraised at over a 100,000 lbs.
 
And I spend hours scrounging for an arrowhead.  ConfusedWink

I hate pictures in low resolution and unclear.There are not reasons for news than!We have to trust someone about something we can not see!This is not your fault of course.But post about gluon is good.Most of artifact's pictures on Net are "invisible".With P.S.:"Trust me there is picture/script of this/that?"Are we stupid to see that?Underestimated for sure we are!
