One of the funniest excavation ever . Miss Benton is hilarious .
yep, they don't write them like they used to :)
It's nothing if not comprehensive though is it, it goes on forever, you've got to give credit for thoroughness! Though she seems convinced the inhabitants were from Switzerland? (home of cuckoo clocks coincidentally). I think more reports should say stuff like "Tearing lumps of clay to pieces hour after hour is a most severe test of human patience. In 1929 I had the advantage fo the help of Mr David Wernham, who worked most manfully at these and other ungrateful tasks such as washing bones." Ooh Mr Wernham.
