Grim Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 got this email from my uni deparment a few days ago... (suspiciously also from a tony...) On Channel 4, Monday 22 March, 9.00 pm, there is a programme entitled 'Sheffield Steel City' and we understand that the Department may be featured in this. This work was aimed at the production of a 'traditional' hunting knife from 18th Century Swedish Blister Steel and was mainly performed by Stuart Bater. Dr John Whiteman and Rod MacKenzie (Archaeology) were also involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon Maiden Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 According to a friend of mine Time Team is a swear word in most Archeaology departments. Moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 I think that the Sheffield Special was basically a monitoring time team that follows various investigations led by ARCUS @ Sheffield Uni. Because it was done over time I suppose that it will be a bit more like "Meet the Ancestors" or similar where they follow something for a while. You have to admit tho MM, a 3 day dig condensed into a 1HR prog makes great telly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxbeast Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 TT is a bit of a swear word among archaeologists, but we all watch it anyway. They seem to be able to get permission to dig absolutely anything, things you'd hardly ever get permission to dig even in a research context. If they want to watch the assorted scruffs at ARCUS, fine, but they should lay off the madness of last summer of thousands of uncontrolled holes in peoples' gardens. And industrial archaeology is supremely dull anyway, judging by the hallway full of bricks and rusty pipes at the department... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
