anytime one needs to be outside holding paper in england, make sure it is laminated

First time we were in the UK, the newspaper read "sunny spells" while in USA we'd write "partly cloudy" amazing the differences in English language :)

I never understood why such weird time limits are always imposed on digs like these. It makes it seem like a gameshow challenge to tell archaeologists that they only have 1 day to conduct their dig. Why 1 day? Why not 2 or 5? It’s seems that the most important thing that archaeological digs need is time. Discovering the past accurately isn’t something that should be rushed.... Just my lame opinion..

This one was really great, the type of structures and the expanse of the buildings is mind blowing, 3 story building with one and two story wings, it would have been a site to behold.

Digging in the graveyard: London, Ontario is just old enough to have things that have moved from living memory, and things were so fast and loose in the early years of settlement that old records are, if existing, not always easy to find. A few years back, excavations for expansion at the Western Fair Grounds started to unearth human remains. Oddly, just shin bones and feet for the most part. Local historians were able to figure out that the land once belonged to a Church, which sold their land to what was then the Grand Trunk Railroad. So, they exhumed the graves to rebury the remains at the site of the new church. The technique used to exhume the graves wasn't to dig up each individual grave, rather, they dug one trench behind each row of headstones, broke into the head end of the caskets, and dragged the remains out. In older graves, where the bones disarticulated, the leg and feet bones were left behind. I guess no one wanted to reach that far back in the casket to get them out. More work is slated for this area next year, and it's anticipated that more of the same will be found.

My favorite line: “if you look right down here to this pair of legs” camera pans to leg bones

The guy digging in the graveyard pretty much sounds like he belongs in a Harry Potter movie

Stewart does not need to dig holes to do archaeology. He is my favorite!

In the Forest Service today(Canada) we still have “Chainmen”. We now use measured tape but still holler “Chain! at the end of every 50M. Except TT did not have frisky moose to worry about.

Its always scary thinking about how during plague years the churches were just filled with bodies and dirt was just thrown on top at a later date because it was too dangerous and there wasnt anyone around to give proper burial.
