I liked that one of the other skeletons is described as a "leather designer".

I'm sure I have told the tale of being set the task on an archaeological site to dig a test pit into the medieval layers under a cellar.  After two feet of excavation, I came across a plastic coffee cup sitting on the flagged cellar floor.  Demolition rubble.  On a previous site, he had a team of us excavating a rubble layer by hand for a week which turned out to be levelling for the car park that had occupied the site since the sixties.
