What It's Really ...

It'd be fun to start a series - "what it's really like" ... to do this, to be that, to have the other.  I'll have to think about that.  But my inspiration is my brother, talking engagingly but simply about ... what it's really like, to be an archaeologist.

This isn't Solomon's treasure, it's not Nazi fighting and snakes - and it's not Lara Croft, not any iteration of her.  It's all the more fascinating for being real, for its tease and its tantalizing clues.  For its path.  Archaeology doesn't stop in one single place, 'history' (nor prehistory, of course).  It follows a line, and tells us about more than one thing at more than one time ...
