so when youwant some stuff from the past so you do some archeology
then you always have to dig downwards. Why. Is the world growing forwards in time

cat_food for thought
whoa man
Go and have a look in the mirror and a good long think
...and always
twirling
twirling
TWIRLING towards freedom!
It's like how dead fish sink to the bottom of the tank
Or how flour in a bag of flour settles.
Everything sinks downwards.
If you lay on the sofa for like ages, you would sink through the cushions and would only be found when a future Tony Robinson ripped the sofa apart looking for 2 pence coins.
:)
well
the fish sink to the bottom at first
but then they float to the top
where does that leave your theory
isn't that like if you put mints or tictacs in lemonade or something?
they sink then float etc. sure i saw that on a tv show where they were making a gyppo lava lamp
i dunno man
i think mints are different o fish
taste diff fo' sho'
Float and then sink, isn't it?
I overlooked the floating stage as their ultimate destiny is to become sediment.
one of my goldfish died the other week
and that was defo sink and then float
RIP Lasqueesha
everythings shit
Especially you.
err
Think DiS should operate a similar system to that seen at swimming pools
cat race should be made to learn how to 'swim' in a kid's social pool, when he stops pissing, shitting and drowning all over there,he can move onto the one for adults
there's only a constant amount of stuff so riddle me that. World can't be going up all over its ole surface
this truly is the depths of thread-writing
abysmal work
thnks
*archaeology
I could explain why this happens and the interesting reasons they can then be found, but I won't.
it just doesn't make sense
This is why people get degrees in it and shit
Its not just wearing silly jumpers and being a social leper
no i know
I have a degree in Archaeology
and it basically is just that.
So do I
Deep down I knew it was but I just wanted to lie to the world :(
Me three! Archaeology friends!
And it is totally that.
Haha wow! Doesn't icwr do it too?
Not graduated yet
She's not in the cool clique yet. Did you do it at notts oojimaflop?
nope, Exeter
Combined Honours with Ancient History. Yourself?
Nottingham
STRAIGHT (although I could have claimed classics at the end)
I've never mentioned where I went so I won't start now :-D
Classical Archaeology and Ancient History.
S_a_d, remember when we upset Bamnan by discussing Latin aphorisms? Great days.
The day I became a class traitor
My place of birth holds a 21 air rifle salute to their lost comrade every anniversary
So do I get automatic entry into this 'cool' 'clique' when I finish then?
I need to know whether to drop out immediately.
Also i can't believe I'm sat here SLAVING over an essay on Scandinavian Rock Art
Whilst cat_race gets away with this shit.
life skills. i'm a charming motherfucker
the only solution is
to get cat_race to write the essay
hey c_r
why do you think people made these carvings?

To be honest you could probably join now
The only social we've had so far is sit in a sandpit drinking cider
This might put the 'being social leper' part of my degree at risk
I'll give it a miss 'til I graduate, yeah?
dig up, stupid!
no i mean dig up stuff downwards
i got the reference
he just means, like, in archeology?
good thread, good question, good times.
1) is it wasn't down, you wouldn't have to dig it up cos u couild alredy see iit
2) often it is the stuff that was underground already that it is that they find udnerground for example is liek foundashuns orf buildings
3) maybe in time some stuff goes from one place to on top of the other place where underneath is boat
*exceeds speed of light*
*discovers past somewhere near Andromeda*
In many ways it's like the DiS Social Board.
Old threads drop down as new, more exciting threads are created and become the focus of attention.
Of course, there are some threads that hang around at the top for several days because they're the equivalent of a midden.
saaaay we git arsels oneof them arkeetectolojuss
buildin willynilly over the past like it werent there
LIKE IT WAS NEVER THERE
but who ever just thinks
i know, i'm going to cover this whole roman village with soil. (except for me in your DiS social board anaology)
fucking Chronos
or, Vesuvius, if yer impatient
and yes I know Chronos is the Greek Titan of Time
he transcends era and space
*timetan
Well, either the Roman village gets covered in the ash from a volcano,
Or, as is more likely, when the buildings fall in to disuse they are stripped of their useful building materials by locals, or they eventually collapse and fall over. This is why we very rarely find entire buildings buried underground - it's usually the foundations, which were the hardest wearing (bound stone or concrete rather than loose stone or timber), and the hardest to pilfer.
So really, people blowing up empty houses
Whilst relieving them of their copper piping is not a modern phenomenon?
I think that you could argue that there was a historical precendent,
if you ever found yourself up in court over it.
It's like how all the nuts and raisins sink to the bottom of a packet of museli
are you trying to tell me that if you put a knife in a field it would just sink?
Over time, yes
But as the muesli packet is a much smaller frame of reference, all the sinking takes place much quicker.
if the museli packet stayed still would the things not sink?
depends if it was in equilibrium
gnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
the only reason you dig downwards is because you can't dig up
scum comes to the surface, but so does cream
does this mean cream is milk scum? or is scum the cream of water?
gold precipitates to the bottom though
so a more useful descriptive term for gold would be Anticream
mindblown
either way, this thread keeps coming back
very pleased. i saw a man doing some metal detecting the other day
Some stuff does go up. Space debris is up.
The boat they found on top of Mount Sinai is up. Mountaneering debris is up too.
go on....
Opposite to down really
i mean
i don't know if what you're saying actually makes any sense though
Well if you wanted to locate any space junk
You'd have to go up. Similarly with something like a volcano that comes up through the crust and creates a new land mass you can also go up!!
well space junk is from the future for a start
and as for a volcano, that sounds like it will get buried
So all the satellites and debris from previous space exploration is from the future?
well i mean it's futuristic isn't it?
poor effort
hey where've you been?
question stands though. old stuff is underground. why?
Because - in a field, for instance - vegetation grows and dies at such a rapid rate
if an area of woodland, waste land, is left un-cared for, eventually the height of the land will raise.
Imagine a plot of land full of weeds, etc. After one years worth of growth and death, it would raise the ground level by about 200mm. And thats just after one year so imagine what it would be like after hundreds.
oooh
