Martin, I suspected things might be a bit "hotter" in that region since I was there. I guess that means they've probably stopped the excavations now. What a shame, from Josephus account, if accurate, the "houses collapsing down on legionaries" might someday result in the find of a complete lst century soldier exactly as he was equipped in battle. If that were the case, there might even be preserved cloth fragments to show the actual "military tunic" color!<br>
All the best, Dan.<br>

Ps. I was "smuggled" into that very base once, in the back seat of a soldier's car...... Too "off topic" to explain here, you'll have to remind me at the next RAT pack meeting! <p></p><i></i>
