Weeks 3 & 4

I am finally back in the land of internet access, well, at least for the next few minutes. I thought I would take this chance to upload a few pictures, but the text to go along with them will have to follow in the next few days...
Things are going very well and we are looking forward to the next two weeks (the last two, if you can believe it) digging in good deposits (well, mostly everywhere). We have dug one deep trench, and are starting another this week and will end this season with both some nice horiztonal exposures, as well as a good sense of the stratigraphy of the site in the two areas where Muheisen worked in the 1980's. Finds are pretty consistent - more flint than we know what to do with (all those who told us so now have bragging rights!), and we are continuing to get lots of faunal material (Louise, we are keeping Jen very busy), and shell beads like crazy. Here are some excavation shots of the crew working very hard in the hot sun, and sometimes in the crazy wind! (Ok, the picture of Danielle with beer is not actually on-site...)
Please be patient and stay tuned for further details...
