{"product_id":"archaeology-is-rubbish-time-team","title":"Robinson Tony: Archaeology is Rubbish (Time Team) [2002]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of a fantasy dig readers are invited to undertake in their back gardens to find out what is buried underneath it. Their initial small trench gradually gets bigger until they are compelled to destroy their garden shed. Then they come down on the remains of a Roman Villa. Their excavation extends into their neighbour's back garden, and ultimately over their back fence into the field beyond, which is the site of a proposed supermarket. What began as a piece of keyhole archaeology is by the end of the book a massive site complete with mechanical diggers and dumper tracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eArchaeology is Rubbish\u003c\/i\u003e is a manual for everyone who wants to know how the task of excavation is undertaken. It also answers some of the questions archaeologists are most often asked, such as 'What do you do if you come across human bones?', 'Suppose you find something valuable?' or 'How do you know what's in your trench when all you've got are different shades of earth?'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e As well as taking the reader on an archaeological journey, \u003ci\u003e Archaeology is Rubbish\u003c\/i\u003e tells the history of the discipline of archaeology, from the earliest looters of pyramids to the present day, and explores modern archaeological techniques. It will encourage those with an interest in digging, but equally it will amuse and engage those whose archaeological ambitions are limited to turning the pages of this book. This is a fascinating, humurous look at the ins and outs of archaeology by two of Britain's favourite archaeologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Through \u003ci\u003eTime Team Tony Robinson\u003c\/i\u003e has become firmly established as an entertaining authority and a trusted commentator on historical and archaeological matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Professor \u003ci\u003eMIck Aston\u003c\/i\u003e is a well-respected archaeologist, based at the University of Bristol, who has been a pivotal and charismatic member of the \u003ci\u003eTime Team\u003c\/i\u003e gang since its inception.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tony, Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":53134224326995,"sku":"XG80752265193","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/tony-robinson-archaeology-is-rubbish-time-team-xg80752265193-1224695615.jpg?v=1772487520","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/archaeology-is-rubbish-time-team","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
