Half Naked and Down in a Big Hole
Someone once said, "We become archaeologists for three reasons: to dig in the dirt, to avoid growing up, and to drink a lot." I believe in this.

Not much time left
Only 7 days left of digging.  My room is going well, dirt is starting to really move (at least a bit faster than before) and I'm confident in my students. 

This summer has gone faster than most.  Unclear why and I want it to last a lot longer than it has.   No asbestos in my trench this year, no bomb damage, making it impossible to tell what went on in one of my rooms, an amazing lack of lapilli.  Just dirt and surfaces and a soakaway.  I'll get into more of this later, but I need to go catch up the archive and make sure my site notebook is in order.  And go through all the drawings and correct things that werent quite right in the beginning.  Hopefully more this weekend.
