My interests are primarily focused on the southern AEgean but all archeology fascinates me to some degree.
Although Geoff's field isn't mine, I've always had archaeology in my heart and imagination. His blog seems very much to be worthy of reading as a book. Which is to say, very worthy, indeed. I intend to back again and again.
