It has been raining really heavily in Skåne (the south region of sweden), so it has been a bit wet on site. However this has not effected the statistics of very cool things found.
As I mentioned earlier I´m finished with the surveying, so now I´m on the main site. So far I´ve been working the total station, wich I must confess is not one of my absolute favorite things to do on site. It´s not that I don´t appreciate or understand the importance of the total station, I do, and I want to be able to use it. It´s just that it keeps me from getting dirty and muddy.
To me digging holes and getting muddy is one of the most satisfying things in field archaeology. The dirtier I get the happier I am, maybe it´s something that stuck with me since childhood. I love digging deep trenches, unvealing and interpreting the diferent patterns that the stratigraphic layers make. Trying to interpret the stratigraphy is like solving a puzzle.
This is a really nice and deep trench with intresting stratigraphy, and it´s muddy to. |
Nice and muddy. |
Egis has a nice one man trench, with a big piece of a split logg in it. |
Raising the tent, after the weekend. |
