Thanks for the ping. I remember seeing a program about the Spitalfields excavations about ten years ago. It was extremely interesting!

LOL! Reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode where the ageless actress was actually an Egyptian princess, who starred in a silent version of Cleopatra and a talkie version, some 40 years apart.
