Pretty much. XD I have this idea in my head for a piece of Chichester related artwork. But I need to know how archeologists tag and store shit after they dig it up. I'm thinking of a dusty box getting pulled out of some university storage shelf with all these little bits and pieces of someone's life in them. Anonymous except for the scientific notation that identifies them. And the viewer will look down into the box and see the stuff and recognize whose life it belonged to. Something along those lines *waves hands about vaguely*.
And I've found some interesting things about 18th century Chichester. That brick making was a big industry as was the making of clay pipes. And that the whole town was basically a town of craftsmen and tradesmen -- carpenters, bricklayers and glaziers, blacksmiths, wheelwrights, coopers, saddlers, tailors and shoemakers. There were also bakers, brewers and grocers and gunsmiths and clay pipe makers.
And also in the early years of the 19th century, no doubt because of the war, a barracks was built in Chichester. I have a bunch of tidbits, like when the turnpike to Portsmouth was built. The first theater in the town. Shit like that.
