Boxes, boxes, boxes.....

19/10/2012

Picture
Boxes.  Boxes. Boxes. Boxes. Boxes. Boxes.   Big boxes, small boxes, middle sized boxes- cardboard boxes everywhere.  Stacked in tidy piles or leaning precariously against the Apollo hallway walls.  The hard evidence of wholesale commerce.   “7 Days Croissant”;”  “Supra Hairspray”;  “Benson and Hedges Gold”; ” Golden Virginia Handrolling Tobacco”;  “Ambrosia Olive Oil fully refined and deodorised”,  and scores of boxes reflecting perhaps, the copious quantities of alcohol consumed by visitors to the island –“ Larios Dry Gin” ; “ Three Barrels Rum”; “ Antica Sambuca”; “ Teachers Highland Cream”; Saint Panteleimon, Medium Sweet Table Wine”; Keo Wines and Spirits from the Island of Cyprus” .   And of course little delicate boxes from Zorbas.*

Boxes filled with evidence of years of excavation toil, carefully identified, sorted, categorised and inventoried and marked accordingly. Paphos Theatre 1999 Trench 1BB 465 471.  Paphos Theatre 1999  Trench 1X Surface clearance. Paphos Theatre 2002 Slag (the non-diagnostic variety).

Little would anyone know that archaeology as it is practiced could be so inextricably and intimately involved with the scrounging, collecting, opening, closing, taping and repetitive re- opening, re- closing and re-taping  of cardboard boxes.

- Geoff

*For the reader who may be unaware, Zorbas is a purveyor of comestibles, ranging from the everyday stomach liner to the downright frivolous, the latter to be consumed, as any refined person would know, behind closely shuttered windows or in the company of intimate friends.

Electronic cigarettes are a very good substitute for tobacco.

Is this any historic places traces that they are keeping in boxes? We also have the same method to keep the material that we dig and find. All boxes are well arranged by name and firmly packed. Thanks for sharing the news. Waiting for your next blog posts.

Much as most of us may want to submit the best essays and research papers, sometimes time does not allow for enough research. Thanks to your post however, I can now easily find good ones online. Your guidance in this really helps.

Selecting proper packing always poses a dilemma, people want to spend as little money on packaging material as possible, yet want their possessions to remain undamaged during transportation. The solution of choice is to use moving boxes available for rent.

I love the amount of information you have shared. Design impacts a lot on the packaging. Recently I have ordered about 100 pieces from <a href=”https://printingshell.com/”>printing shell</a> and have a good experience with custom-designed boxes and the best unboxing experience ever.

Nice post. I find out some thing tougher on various blogs everyday. Most commonly it is stimulating to learn to read content from other writers and exercise a specific thing at their store. I’d would prefer to apply certain while using the content on my own blog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll supply you with a link on your own internet blog. Thank you for sharing.
