I find that studying the real _anything_ gives you this. Often I find
that when I have difficulty getting my head round something, getting my
body round it is the best way forwards.
Your mention of the Raunds project brought back memories - the trouble
with visiting such projects as a young teenager is that it took me years
to work out that not all archaeology (outside urban centres - the other
projects I saw were the ones in the centre of Northampton) was being
done in that way!
With best wishes,
Pat
