I'm a big fan of archaeology in general but specifically bronze age British.

Oh crikey! Obviously 43 - at least 60AD in Brittania, but political, social and military aspects of the early - mid Empire. Growing fascinstion with 400AD plus and the Republic though! How about you?

I find archeology fascinating when it comes to buildings and artifacts.

But when they dig up people's lovingly interred bodies and put them on display I find that really unsettling and disrespectful to the dead. Folk should be able to rest in peace, science be damned.

And it really makes me question how I might want my own body managed after I eventually die.

I don't want someone to come along in 300 years and try to see if I ate my greens or used a spoon

I'm conflicted about that too. I really admire Prof Alice Roberts who is an osteo archaeologist among other things. She does treat human remains respectfully but I'm not sure I'd want to be investigated like that and we can't possibly know what their belief system was in any detail

Oh the tattoos make sense now. So which period of Ancient Egypt do you find the most interesting??

I think it is all interesting but if I had to pick one. For me it has to be the New Kingdom, especially before the Bronze Age Collapse.

A massive difference compared to archaeologists a hundred years ago, which discarded items and human remains if they didn't interest them enough.

Archaeology has come a long way thankfully.

And even more interesting is how William was a descendent of Vikings who settled in Normandy

Yes been on a site uncovered fascinating stuff but much seemed to be fragments of bone of which the occasional needle or hairpin. Their Amazon prime of the time was Gaul/France it seemed things like pots and urns?

Had some detectorists on my farm the past few weeks, they've unearthed some Roman finds. Mostly crockery, there were some coins too!

Particularly Hadrians Wall…. Which I think comes from reading ‘The Eagle of the Ninth’ by Rosemary Sutcliffe when I was a kid….

Diocletian's Palace (Croatian: Dioklecijanova palaca, pronounced [diokletsija{¬y5A=¬}nova palat{¬yoM=¬}a]; Latin: Palatium Diocletiani) is an ancient Roman palace and fortress complex built at the end of the third century AD by the Roman Emperor Diocletian as his retirement residence. About half of the complex was for Diocletian's personal use, with the rest housing the military garrison. The complex was built on a peninsula six kilometres (3.7 mi) southwest from Salona, the former capital of Dalmatia, one of the largest cities of the late empire with 60,000 people and the birthplace of Diocletian.

Need to see it in person 🙂
