In amongst our more usual finds each season - ceramic sherds, architectural pieces, rusted metals and fragments of glass ancient to modern, there is always something odd. Something which doesn't quite fit.
Trench 17B this year provided the team with that "odd" object - a cassette tape in one of the upper layers, very close to one of the former farms used as a dig house in the early seasons of the excavations.
Perhaps it was left there by one of the students in our first mid-1990s seasons. After all, the walkman was still a popular form of entertainment then, long before digital music platforms.
The archaeology of archaeology!
