Please reply direct to David Jordan ([log in to unmask]) if you are interested in this post and
  require further information.

  I wonder if I can ask you publicise a post at my geoarchaeology consultancy. An increasing workload
  means that I need to appoint a geoarchaeologist to assist in field and lab work, mostly in the west of
  England.
  I would be very grateful if you could make this known to any who you think might be interested and
  suitable. Closing date 31 August.
  Rates of pay are attractive, the work varied and the scenery around our offices in the Brecon Beacons
  glorious.
  I'm looking for somebody with a first or higher degree in geoarchaeology, geology, soil science or another
  relevant earth science and ideally a degree in archaeology as well. I would prefer candidates with
  geoarchaeological field skills, based on experience, including a good working knowledge of British
  archaeological deposits, soils and Quaternary and Holocene sediments. Ancillary skills in geophysics or
  environmental archaeology will be welcome. Candidates should be able to demonstrate a clear writing
  style and evidence of their ability to work independently.

Finds in Rome:
Articolo Il Messaggero Cronaca di Roma -Giovedì 7 Agosto 2003

        Importante scoperta archeologica
        Tracce della casa di Caligola al Foro Romano



  Dal Foro Romano vengono alla luce le tracce dell'abitazione
  di Caligola, il sanguinario imperatore dell'antica Roma che ha
  sempre
  evocato misteri e curiosità forse per la follia che trapelava
  dalle
  sue gesta. Ad annunciare la scoperta è il soprintendente
  archeologico
  di Roma, Adriana La Regina, sul sito del ministero dei Beni e delle
  Attività Culturali "Culturalweb".

  Dai sondaggi archeologici, compiuti nei cantieri di scavo
  affidati in concessione esterna ad enti internazionali, sembrano
  riemergere i resti della dimora di Gaio Giulio Cesare Germanico, in
  arte Caligola,
  vissuto tra il 12 ed 41 D.C, nell'area del foro al confine tra la
  zona religiosa e quella commerciale. Caligola, così chiamato per
  la
  calzatura militare, la caliga,che portava da bambino, succedette nel
  37 D.C a Tiberio e dapprima si
  accordò con il senato legando a sè i pretoriani, ma poi il suo
  assolutismo di tipo orientale e il suo atteggiamento tirannico lo
  isolarono.

  Promosse infruttuose spedizioni in Britannia e sul confine renano per
  poi cadere in una congiura guidata dal capo dei pretoriani Cassio
  Cherea. Su Caligola le informazioni sono sempre state poche e
  frammentarie dopo che sono andate perdute alcune fonti, come gli
  scritti di Tacito. Ora le ultime scoperte al Foro Romano potranno
  forse dirci di più ulla vita e le passioni del sanguinario
  imperatore, perché «ogni pietra del Foro Romano è na pagina
  di
  storia - racconta La Regina - e documenta la vita
  degli imperatori e del popolo romano».
