Lost and Found

I have always been interested in Archaeology, sadly I didn't feel that I would be suited to studying anywhere near Prof Rynne without one of us being sorely tempted to take drastic action. Instead I contented myself with History and Classical Civilization, and sometimes wonder what life would have been if I had taken another path.

This is mostly about the joy of discovery, that moment that sticks out in a persons mind about things they found, the pieces of their lives that don't appear in official reports, that moment of ah-ha for a researcher, a discovery that sticks out in the mind of a researcher. I found it an interesting read and an interesting insight into the lives of Archaeologists and historians, and made me want, more than anything to return to historical research.
