[QUOTE="Archeocultura, post: 3722757, member: 97204"]Looks as if I am in the wrong Forum, but, yes, I once had a tank with sparkly fish, but growing children took up their time and fish slowly died and so did my passion for tropical fish. What always stayed with me is archaeology: once a hobby, but for the past ten years my profession. Archaeology in the Netherlands is quite something special as we hardly have any stone structures from Roman times, apart from the southern part of our country (Limburg) where there have been villas and baths. The northern part of our small country was part of the 'Barbaricum' = all the lands beyond the Roman frontier which was situated along the main rivers (Rhine principally). North of there people lived as in eons before: woooden houses and a simple agricultural existence. Yet there was interaction between the Romanised part and the 'Barbaricum' and that is where my specialist knowledge lies: locally made pottery from between 500 BC to 500 AD. So, yes, I live in the present, but with history round every corner. Frans[/QUOTE]
