Digging mud - one of the least pleasant archaeological processes and also one of the most useless (completely destroys the layers of stratigraphy).  This must be desperate rescue stuff.

For those unable to watch the series, it is worth it when it arrives at your territory.  This episode points out surviving Pompeii depended a lot on timing (if you went early enough to the countryside or were away on business and decided against returning until the eruption had settled down) and also the direction you went (North past Vesuvius, IIRC, was the correct choice).

Impressive

It uses an external service: feedrabbit.com from Oz.  I'd be interested to know if anyone here finds this useful. It works with any website not just mine.

Of course, the cool kids use the neat RSS feed.
