I was going to post this last week when it was first on TV, but I thought that it'd make me look like a geek [:p]

Fair comment though - if I could actually go back and see what was hapening to create the archaeology and then turn up on the dig site I would probably point and laugh too - anyone recall "Millie's Camp" as a piece of experimental archaeology?

Hmmm and ever stopped to consider the number of 'ritual' sites a future archaeologist would perceive you as leaving behind!

Yep, what about when they find those plastic lawn border thingies. We put them around a patch of turf which we then spend Sundays mowing and weeding and levelling and then plant flowers around it!
"Ah yes professor... in the 20th and 21st centuries they worshipped patches of grass and almost every home had one apart from the heretics who worshipped the God called Decking".
Great thing to be remembered for!

Ha, its alright for the good Doctor to sneer-but us poor human apes don't have the advantage of a TARDIS or being a omnippy,omnippity (sod this) ETERNAL super-being.
Having said that if he didn't keep those pesky Daleks/Cybermen/Sea-devils etc off our backs we would not have the peace and quiet to do any archaeology.
