Hello Richard<br>
Thank you for the welcome. I did check out the Masada threads. Very interesting but a bit disappointing too I guess.<br>
I can understand Dan and Luca's enthusiasm to get stuck in there though. The few times I've visited Masada I've wondered about those siege camps. You can see their outlines so tantalizingly clearly from the top of the mountain. It does seem such a waste of oppurtunity that they are just sitting there on the hillsides apparently unexcavated.<br>
I would love to take part in excavations if the chance ever arose-preferably in the winter! Only problem is I couldn't quite see hubby agreeing to look after the kids whilst I disappeared in to the desert for a few weeks.<br>
