I live just down the road from Shapwick (see CU's link) and while he was working there, Mick used to come into the local primary school which my 2 children attended. He took them field walking, and came into the school regularly, answering their questions and showing them 'finds'.

My son was thrilled to be doing 'real archaeology' at the age of 8, and was inspired by Mick. He starts an Archaeology degree course this month!

Thanks Falkryn

Mind you he must have got a degree to have been able to go to Phd surely??

Kerry

I believe that his original degree may have been in Geography as it was this he was originally studying along with archaeology before he became sidetracked fulltime onto archaeology. The book he has written concerning "Landscape Archaeology" is considered by many to be the definitive text on the subject.

We've touched a little bit of Landscape Archaelogy through my work and it is a very interesting subject. I might have a butchers at his book.

The BBC has a resposibility to its licence fee payers I suppose. I remember a BBC weather forecaster once saying that the Met Office had complaints from viewers in northern France and Belgium who wanted to know why they did not include a weather forecast for their regions. Pushing their luck?

Newspapers in those regions include TV listing of British channels.

I'm not sure whether all programs will be available on Broadband from the BBC one day. If British people have to pay the licence fee how to they charge non-British people to see their output? It's all about money and coyright.

Time Team......a wonderful programme.However,Health and Safety appears to have got to them.They seem to be wearing hard hats these days when they stand in trenches no more than ankle deep.Still, one never knows what may fall out of the sky!.

Hi Llwyd

I'd disagree with you about the trenches being only ankle deep.

Phil Harding was standing in a massive hole in the Buckingham Palace Gardens excavation looking for a canal. It depends how deep the archeology is really.

Interesting link CU

I'm confused though, how can Mick be a Professor in Landscape Archaelogy and yet, according to Genresearch not hold any Archaelogy degree??

I've alway like Mick, he has a good habit of being able to bring Tony back down to earth and I love some of his jumpers.

Kerry

Kerry,

A professor is a title bestowed on someone by the chancellor of a university. It doesnt mean they hold any qualifications unfortunately. Mick was I believe honoured with a honouary degree many years ago for his work in the field of Landscape archaeology which he was somewhat of a pioneer at the time

There doesnt have to be a trench to have to wear a hard hat. Anywhere that mechanical excavators are requires both a hard hat and a high vis jacket. In a trench of 1m depth a hard hat must be worn however this is flaunted many times especially when we have to excavate something fragile.

What surprises me though is the amount of TT staff who do not wear toe protectors which are required all the time

H&S in my opinion cannot be stringent enough. For example one archaeologist working on a site in London back in 2002 had a wall fall on them in a trench because a site director for the building company decided that the trench was empty and had his jcb driver push it in. The guy walked away with concussion and cuts thankfully and his Hard hat protected his head

Yay Genresearch! As a professional H&S man, how nice it is to hear some positive views on what I do, rather than complaints about the "Nanny State" - and then watch those ambulance chaser claims companies cash in.

What a nice way for my weekend to start. Grin
