We think of toilets in the past as primitive and dirty, but I betcha a wooden board is not as cold as plastic one 😂 Also: they seemed to understand that a urinal is for standing and a toilet for sitting. So to y'all men standing while using the toilet: you should be sitting when there's no urinal 😎💦💦

There's no hiding a landfill. One day, an archaeologist comes along and there it is. Don't hide the bodies, because we will find them.

In British WW1 trenches and camps, waste pits are one of the archaeological structures one finds most often. In those waste pits, the amount of camp waste is unbelievable. We don't think of the past as a throw-away society, but you'd be mistaken. These Garton's HP sauce bottles are very distinctive objects in said waste pits. In WW1 archaeology and UXO clearance, we often joke that the thing you find most in these British pits are "HP bottles and Mills bombs". It's not far from the truth.

An archaeologist who has never worked on a WW1 battlefield site, will have no clue what this object is. It's a bead in a hard white, unglazed 'bisquit' ware, quite crudely made. One could think it's a whorl, or cheap jewellery, but no. It's a weight that resides in the base of a German stick gr***de and it enables the pull cord, connected to the igniter, to drop free. Yank the bead and throw the gr***de. Since the beads are ceramic, they will last much, much longer than the wood or metal components of the actual stick gr***des.

You might know what a German stick gr***de looks like, from movies, games or pop culture. But when you find the actual gr***des after 100 years in the ground, they look like rotten tin cans with some black stuff inside. Mind you, the black stuff is the actual explosive charge, which very often just... spills out. Enjoy your weekend, I sure am going to after another week of clearing UXO (with 360survey)

When we tell our client we're a "family business", this is what we mean 😎 They should expect to see a six-year-old during a site visit.

Paperwork of Kafkaesque proportions: "Hand over a survey on a site where you know you won't find diddly. We demand it." Us: "Ugh. Fine. have it your way." 😱😱
