Hi: My name is Kris Hirst, and I'm the guide for archaeology at About.com. I started an Archaeology Quote of the Week when I started my site, over two years ago, and I now have over a hundred quotes, by and about archaeologists and the past. My quotes come from books, journal articles, movies, ancient writings, comic book characters. Like Chris, I feel a little out of place, but only because I'm so much older than everyone--I'm 45. Here's one of my favorite quotes: "An archaeologist is the best husband anyone can have, the older she gets, the more interested he is in her." I like it because it's been attributed to Agatha Christie, but actually it was a quote from her husband, Max Mallowan, who was an archaeologist. http://archaeology.about.com/blquoteold.htm kris ..................................................
