Flakes of History:Mudlarking
4/4/20
Impoverished children hunting for household items.
has shifted into
Ordinary people reliving antiquity.
as well as
A vacation destination.
Thames river in London possesses layers
of buried time.
What will be next
on this mudlarking exploit?
A piece of Roman porcelain?
A rare relic?
A charred roof tile from the Great Fire of London?
Time-traveling
the tactility of an object grasped
400 years ago.
Untold experiences, stories, struggles
Embedded in filth
