Sextus Roscius Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 While a great improvement for the archaeological comunity, I find it a dispointment becuase when I dabble in that field (as I would sort of like to do at one point or another) it won't be the same, classic, childhood fantasy type thing that I had dreamed of doing. Oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
