The Joys and Perils of Research, Wendy Orr , single work column
'In the excavations of a Bronze Age town overlooking the Aegean Sea, I stood on a patch of soft clay and picked up a smooth, oval river stone. This was the floor of the pottery workshop, said my archeologist guide. That stone was used for smoothing the inside of pots - if you find a stone out of context, it's nearly always a tool.' (Introduction)
 (p. 4-6)
