You gotta love archaeologists.

"It is the richest - by that I mean the filthiest - site of this period known in Britain,"

Now why don't parents see it this way? Not cleanliness is next to godliness, but messiness is next to wealth.

Perhaps not financial wealth, but I view it as next to experiential wealth. Sometimes at nursery they'll apologise because Jack's got paint on his clothes or jam in his hair. Good grief, if a toddler isn't grimy by the end of the day, someone's not doing their job right! Provided a child starts the day clean and goes to bed clean, the time in between should be allowed for getting mucky!
