Well when people ask me about what my interest in archaeology or ask what I am doing at university. Geoarchaeology baffles people - someone said to me is that to do with mud - and now calls me a mud expert. Always the Time Team comment, though when I went to a wedding on my mums side of the family - they all know me as the archaeologist and tell me about places they have been and things they think are a find etc.[?] Turns out to like rocks etc Lol
I then found out that the person joining our family had people in her family who helped find 'Lucy' (hominid skeleton) in Africa. Was totally amazed.[:0]
My own boyfriend when introducing me says Im a dinosaur hunter
just to annoy me as he finds that amusing. The good old school and college days when everyone assumed i did something like indiana Jones and Lara Croft - which I replyed - I know I'll look very nice in lycra and some guns round my waist :face-confused:
Down below the mines and sea ooze and fake fossil bones put there by the creator with nothing better to do than upset archaeologists and give them silly ideas. Terry Pratchett - The Light Fanastic
