PORTUS II – LIFE IN THE TRENCHES – Read the full article here!
I suppose it has some similarities to a programme like ‘Big Brother’. In that case a group of strangers is lumped together to live and work in close confines and then filmed to reveal some rather unedifying traits in their behaviour, whilst also fulfilling the voyeuristic expectations of an addicted audience. Well the Portus Archaeological Field School from the University of Southampton certainly had some similarity, but luckily it wasn’t Big Brother and luckily there was no filming, no audience and no voyeurs. However what it did consist of was a rather strange concoction of individuals from all over the world who, over the next three weeks would have to work in teams in some remarkably close quarters on occasion, definitely imposing concern on any Brits fearing an invasion of their personal space.
The question for me though was whether I would get through – despite a significant level of archaeological ignorance and incompetence.
