Considering how many former or 'lapsed' archaeologists there are out there in Ireland at a loose end and with the will to move abroad, I figured this might actually be worth posting. 

The (in?)famous archaeology series Time Team is looking for a new presenter to get excited about bits of pots, small walls and other such nerdy things. If you, like me, are one of those people who has literally jumped in excitement at just the thought of finding small stones then you may just be what Time Team are looking for...

You can find all the details by clicking on Read More below, visiting the Past Preservers website and putting your details into their 'Talent Database'. If you do get the job and you're Irish/adopted Irish, do us a favour and come back sometime to sort out our native broadcasters' coverage of Ireland's brilliant archaeology!
