Hej, Cornelius, God Jul också!
Would your fictional web site ponder such as this (also from Paul's blog):
"Often in archaeology too much attention is paid to the finds and not enough to the finders. Despite its pretentions as a science, archaeology is a very subjective entity and a great deal of interpretation rests on the shoulders of its most junior practitioners." [There follow photos]

Two spontaneous comments from me - read them twice before you shoot from your hips
1. A fictitious message which I might write to another list, lets call it MEDITER-ARCH:
> Members on the list might like to know that my project in
> progress in Portugal is recording 4th century AD pot sherds.
2. A fictitous entry on my own non-existent weblog:
"We are recording these sherds as part of the project. At this rate, future conservation ethos is likely to require that this building is restored to a point in time that could be close to December 2005, thus removing this period of the site's development from the official narrative."
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Cornelius
