118 artifacts in one square metre! Yeah! That's like a personal record. My square was full on Woodland pottery, flakes and a nice bone or two. It was an awesome feeling watching that stuff come out of the dirt.

You know how archaeologists are always going on in interviews about how archaeology is all about the analysis and its all in the information gathering. Yeah, well, they're lying.

Okay, analyzing artifacts is interesting and you learn about the artifacts by washing and cataloging and then by mapping everything out you can find quite a bit of stuff out. And that has its own special thrill.

But really? We're in it for the cool stuff we get to find.

So, if you read yesterday, you would have noticed that I said we were going surveying. But plans changed and we found out at the office that we were to hit this pre-contact midden site.

And yes, the day was hot. Gah. Very hot.
And my square did get nominated for the hell hole of the day, due to the tree trunk in the middle of it.

Oh, but it was sweet!
