Anjanette And Fall 2008 at Metro is off and running...

So, excitedly I anticipate this being the last fall semester I spend at Metro. At least I hope that is the case. I really want to get out of here...Not that it is the worst school in the world, but it definitely is time to move on. I hope I get out of here in May and then find someplace else to scramble my brain cells. Any suggestions are welcome, as long as they are valid ones. So, its off to Biocultural Interactions, South American Archaeology, Modern Middle East, and last, but not least, Adva… Continue

Gerald Maurice Wilkinson Sedgeford Historical and Archaeology Research Project

The seven of us on th HR course started at 8.30 each morning working through till 5.30 with the appropriate breaks for food and drink. The tgutors were friendly and well informed transmitting to us information about the human skeleton from genuine e… Continue

Charlie Hatchett Starting at Rock Bottom. A Peculiar Central Texas PreClovis Culture: Rough- 2nd Edition.

Gerald Maurice Wilkinson Cave Art

I am going to Cresswell crags on Thursday afternoon to visit the Church Hole Cavern where Britains answer to Cave Art is situated. At first I was told it was not open to the general public as they had schools trips every day but when I said I was an archaeologist they have made a special visite for me!! I hope to take some photos and post them next week. Gerald Continue

Gerald Maurice Wilkinson Singing Megaliths.

On Wednesday I returned to Avebury to take more photos and see what had happened since the big excavation at Silbury Hill. Photos will be posted soon. Silsbury is all tidied up for the next generation. However, while walking round the stones I came across a a small crowd round a stone listening to a man talking about the singing which I did hear. Apparently the sheep listen to it too. The man Tareth has been researching this for some time and claims this common to a lot of magaliths ( but he has… Continue

Anjanette An end to an experience?

This is a picture from the road on the way to Hudson Meng. The smoke is from the wildfires that are currently burning in California. The sun tonight was red, before it set. I would not hesitate to say that the past few weeks have been an awesome experience, but I know that i… Continue

Anjanette A few days, a few thousand years...

I dug on June 20 and 21. I was then blindsided by a migraine (hello icepick to the skull) and dug on June 24. The first two days I spent scraping to 80 cm below line level. I found three flakes and three bone fragments on June 20.They were at 77cm and 78 cm bll (below line level) and the other three were at 79 cm bll. When I reached the target of 80 cm bll, the day was done. Spent Tuesday in a different unit, digging under the paleosol, about five feet below the surface. The units are all 1X1, a… Continue

Kirst Archaeology Coursework

My archaeology coursework is all done! it's titled " a Landscape study into the area surrounding St Thomas church in Mellor and its settlement." I have to admit im rather proud of it, even though i was well over word count by about 1000 words, but i couldnt go under word count without jepodising my typological anylsis and my pottery anylsis. If any one is interested in a taster please let me know! Kirsty Continue

Anjanette Hudson Meng here I come.

Tomorrow morning I begin my days at Hudson Meng Bison Bone Bed in the Nebraska Panhandle. Research has been going on in this area since the 1970's. Alberta and Eden points found. I can't wait. I have to ask if it is ok if I blog about it before I do details, but I am thinking that the head researcher won't mind. This dig is completely volunteer. No one is getting any kind of college credit for it, or paid for it. I think that this is a good example of how archaeology can work. If anyone wants to… Continue

Emma Oxenby Wohlfart Why You Will Never See Me At a Field School

Things that come easy are easy to let go of. We live in a world where we tend to believe that we get what we pay for and, as such, if we don't pay for something it is not worth very much to us either. That is why you will never see me at a field school. I believe my time to be worth as much as the next person's. I know that in my diligent hard work I can be an asset in any workplace. I will not pay you to let me work. I think that I understand the concept of field school… Continue

Gerald Maurice Wilkinson Medieval Frescoes in Bulgaria

On May 10th I am off for nearly three weeks to Bulgaria to chase Medieval Frescoes in abandoned churches and mon asteries with Balkan Heritage. I shall be returning with lots of photos and hopefully some good stories. Anyone with information please let me know. Gerald I have been back just over a week now but I am still having difficulty sorting my photos of which there are nearly 1000. The work was very interesting as the cultural is very different to that of an Englishman brought up in a non c… Continue

Anjanette June 1 is the beginning of a long, hot summer...

So, June 1 puts to close a torturous May. From finals to planning the annual casino night fund raiser for Mollie's school, I have no brain left at all, and am seriously wondering if I will regain it. Last week I spent almost forty hours at DATA working on this stupid casino thing. I am just glad that Amanda showed up because otherwise it might have had a different outcome. From what I was told today, things turned out ok. Maybe even good. I am not so patiently waiting for June 19. As soon as Mol… Continue
