Maggie Struckmeier Rampart Scotland Archaeology Fieldschool 2010

Hillforts are the iconic and classic image of the British Iron Age and yet as a class of monuments they are poorly understood, mainly due to a lack of dating evidence. The Rampart Scotland project (following on from the successful Hillforts of Strathdon Project) is specifically designed to undertake keyhole excavation across a series of hillforts in order to collect dating evidence. We will also carry out a survey of the surrounding landscape in order to look at possible associated features. Tr… Continue

Anjanette Bison antiquus and the tourist...

The very fact that I titled this blog post this way was because the whole megafauna explanation is getting to be rote now. It is a sad statement for our educational system that basic things like the end of the ice age are not taught anymore. I actually had a teenager this past weekend that wasn't required to have ANY sciences to graduate from high school. There is a reason why are children are dropping lower and lower in academics as compared to the rest of the world. And it is our fault. Unfort… Continue

Nicolae Roddy Dolmens, Menhirs, and Cairns, oh my!

Paleontology is not my field, but I thought members who have an interest in the Celtic phenomena of dolmens, etc, might like to compare structures with those in Jordan, which I recently photographed for the Virtual World Project. Go to my photos to see several varieties and please feel free to post comments, as I would like to know more about the phenomenon. Continue

Anjanette Summer on the High Plains of the Nebraska Panhandle

Ok. Week one of my summer job with the Forest Service is officially over. I began work on May 24th, and my days off for June are Sundays and Mondays. I worked six days in a row, which wasn't that bad. When Mollie and I arrived on May 23, it was threatening to rain and we had to set up our tent quick. Since it was a loaner tent, it didn't go as quickly as we had hoped. Luckily, our supervisor Leigh Anne and her daughter Rue were familiar with the tent style and got us straightened up quick. Sara… Continue

Anjanette The summer is off to a soggy start...

On Sunday I began my summer job as a Forest Service employee at Hudson Meng Bison Bonebed. I lead tours through the bonebed and answer questions to the best of my ability. It isn't that bad, and my co workers are nice people. My daughter and I are camping on site as resident employees, and the biggest thing right now is that it hasn't been sunny, just rainy. I am sick of the rain. It also makes the dirt roads out here very slick and nasty, which is going to chase off tourists. I want the sun out… Continue

Anjanette Spring Break? No, just a week of being sick where I didn't miss any classes

Isn't that just the way it goes? A whole week where I could just relax and catch up on my readings of journals, and I spend four days in bed sick. Then, lovely old man winter swamps Denver and all the city goes into panic. Its the same story every time it snows. That was the day we decided to go grocery shopping, since no one was out. Didn't have to deal with lines. I am working on getting a paid internship this summer. That is so important, the paid part. Especially in this day and age. I hone… Continue

Anjanette Midterm and just hopin' to survive.

I am seriously doubting the sanity of my project I have proposed for the Fall Semester. I am going to have to work really hard at being able to process the tools I am going to need to butcher and analyze. Oh, didn't I tell anyone? I decided for an Independant Study, I should help make a comparison collection of lithic tool marks on animal bone...including casting the marks. Now I just have to figure out where I am going to get other bones besides pig, cow, chicken, turkey, duck, fish, whatever c… Continue
