I didn't even know there were archeologists who specialize in hairstyles! At least you're unlikely to meet many booby traps by searching for the lost hair combs of Carthage, right? : )

That is really cool! Now if only I knew someone in the SCA who was Roman period...

She does Medieval and Renaissance, too. :)

We don't know that there are. This is a hairstylist who specializes in archeology.

Got that a bit backwards, then. Whoops.

It's so surprising, right? We don't expect hairstylists to have academic hobbies, but academics with craft hobbies, sure. I wonder how she got into archeology.

I wouldn't phrase it exactly like that (because it would make me look bad), but you're right.
