21/2/2005 - The Site Briefing

We had a nice briefing today on the ruins we'll be looking at in Greece.
As far as I can gather, there is no building projecting more than about three inches from the ground, the whole area has been thoroughly turned over years ago for its pots and jewellery, and the turning over has confused the site.The finds were dated at between 100BC and 1000BC, which makes them really uninteresting.
There are no Mycenaean or Minoan or Hellenic connections, so what we have here is a settlement of common folk, no kings, no palaces, no exotic religions involving blood sacrifices. All the nice pottery and jewellery has already been carted off to a museum. Still, beggars can't be choosers, and I'm a beggar these days.
