Just keep Digging - Funny Archaeology Field School Tapestry
by House of happiness
$23 $30
Description: In the UK all archaeological sites have a specific call sign - a combination of letters and numbers. The Roman trading post built atop a Bronze Age farming community outside of the village of West Deeping, Lincolnshire, is referred to as CQWD19 in all literature. For the better part of a year I worked on CQWD19 (my full-time job being archaeology) and decided to create this piece of West Deeping commemorative merchandise. There are probably about ten people it will be relevant to, who are all surely missing the fields and fens as much as I am during this time of COVID19 self-isolation (that's a different call sign, and one I like a lot less). This is also available to everyone else of course!
