On our visit to Chester Grosvenor Museum this week to learn about the Romans (I'll blog about this another time) the children had the chance to be archaeologists and sort through various stones. There was a display on the wall showing a cross-section of the ground. Of course, it was layered - remains from the Roman era at the bottom, rising up to a layer of washing up liquid bottles and carrier bags nearest the surface. It showed the children how we have to dig for clues about the past.
I happened to ask one of the children why they thought things were buried. He told me that the ground was lower in Roman Times. I asked him why. He said, "Because of health and safety!!!"
