		<description><![CDATA[I have received the following email from Gemma Hagen in the BBC that may be of interest to some of you. Please, ignore the exaggerated tone of triumph. It may be a great opportunity for a young archaeologist to advertise his/ her project. &#8220;Great news! We will be making series two of Digging for Britain. We hope to start filming in early 2011. I’m delighted to say that the whole of Digging for Britain has been a success and rated really well with our audience. The final viewing figures for the Roman programme came in at 2.75 million which is absolutely enormous for BBC2 these days. To put it into context, the viewing figures for the 9pm slot on Thursday evenings have dropped back to 1.6 million after the series finished, which these days is normal for this time on BBC2. Received equally well by the critics, the preview in the Times said that “if archaeology had a World Cup, this would be the finals” and Time Out Magazine called it “exemplary stuff”. Digging for Britain has also helped to give archaeology a really high profile in the press in the last couple of months – with some of our exclusive stories hitting headlines around the world! Such as the following two stories….. Hambleden Infanticide http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10384460 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/7853419/Romans-killed-babies-at-brothel.html Frome Hoard http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1292990/Chef-Dave-Crisp-discovers-largest-hoard-Roman-coins-Somerset-field.html And for series two we are already looking for great archaeology stories, and so if you have something coming up, or in the pipeline – whether this be field work, marine archaeology, lab work, skeletal work, conservation, post-ex analysis, community archaeology projects – or anything in between– we would love to hear about it as we will be researching and developing the stories between now and production in 2011. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have a story in mind – my mobile is always on 07818 532230 – or drop me an email. Gemma Hagen]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ancient historians occasionally become concerned about their image. Stress levels rise every time a scholar needs to pick the perfect outfit for a job interview or the occasional lecture. Some of us are even concerned about our every day clothes. I often catch myself thinking, what do I wear today for my Staff and Student Committee meeting? O vanitas vanitatum! When in such a dilemma, I look for advice. Or, alternatively, I follow the fashion sense of my role models. These are not Givanchy, Valentino or Armani. Do not get me wrong, I follow fashion closely and I would have loved to be able to afford some of their pieces. However, I took a vow of poverty when I entered the profession, as I suspect did thousands of other historians, classicists and archaeologists. My true role models are my senior professors. As an example I present here a picture of Mary Beard, an eminent classicist and Cambridge Don, whose blog I follow religiously. Of course, I do not just copy others. After all, copyright is a serious offense and I intend to avoid it at all cost. Over the years I developed my own style, while I adjusted it to the demands of the British Academia. Here I have a few tips for the aspiring ancient historian: Understatement should be the order of the day. Avoid extravagant outfits, feathers, bright colours, flashy jewelry, heavy perfumes, wide brimmed hats etc. Suppress the expression of your sexuality as much as that is possible. Avoid high heeled shoes (also for medical reasons), miniskirts, ripped off jeans, low cut tops, see-through blouses. Do not wear expensive clothes. We do not have the opportunity to work in Management or Law Departments, where fashion shows take place regularly. Our colleagues are as poor or poorer than us. An expensive dress will raise eyebrows and cause either petty jealousies or create antagonism. Keep it simple. Even classicists who study sculpture of the baroque Hellenistic period should be able to appreciate the validity of this rule. Be comfortable. Bear in mind that for most of the day you will be standing or running around in errands or receiving students and colleagues in your office. You will need a pair of sensible shoes, a warm cardigan or pullover, comfortable trousers or skirt and a heavy jacket. I would suggest that you use these clothes also during the beautiful British summer! I will add here a personal note. In this gloomy climate you should avoid wearing black clothes. It attracts negativity and affects your mood. If you still like dark colours, try navy blue or khaki green. Alternatively, if you decide not to follow my advice, wear your outfit with confidence and I am certain that eventually others will follow YOU.]]></description>
