AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the enthusiasm for archaeology inspired by the TV show Time Team, particularly through the character Phil Harding. The participant expresses confidence in mimicking Harding's mannerisms and skills, such as crafting a flint axe. They outline essential tools and materials needed for archaeological work, including soft paint brushes, a dental pick, string and rods for grid marking, and a sifting box. The importance of education and understanding grid layout on paper is emphasized, along with the use of GPS technology for land surveying. The conversation also humorously touches on attire, suggesting that a Fedora and bullwhip are necessary accessories, while expressing concern about physical limitations when wearing shorts.

I watch Time Team on tv when ever i can, and by watching Phil Harding i think i have the mannerisms down to a tee, i can even Knapp a passable flint axe, and i have a battered tool box i can put a trowel and brush in, what else do i need?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Education?
 
A set of soft paint brushes, and a small dental pick. String and rods to mark off a grid. Paper, pencils and a ruler, as well of a understanding how to make the grid on paper. A screened sifting box is a handy thing to have. GSP is good to have too
 
I forgot the tooth picks, but Phil has the techs survey the land for him with the gps etc,
i am just worried my legs let me down wearing shorts, i can do the hair.
 
You'll also need a Fedora and bullwhip.
