I am considering buying a new car over the holidays. I want to go for the archaeologists favourite, the Land Rover (as modelled by the lovely Julian Richards), but Nicola points out that most of my life will be spent in an M4 motorway traffic jam so something comfy with a CD player is more sensible.

If I wanted to be sensible I would never have studied archaeology would I?

An Iron Age chariot from about 500 BC has been discovered by engineers working on the new A1 motorway in West Yorkshire according to
BBC NEWS. The information this site provides, together with chariots found in recent years at Newbridge near Edinburgh and Wetwang should hopefully do much to shed light on this Iron Age burial practice.
