Survey of a life time

Today the two Lithuanian guys Egis and Edvinas joined Erik and me for the survey. This day turned out to be a really good day. We found lots of nice artefacts, had great conversations and told each other funny jokes. We found lots of the usual flint blades, hazelnut shells, torches and micro blades. All theese finds are fantastic but they where nothing compared to what we would find. After half an hour Egis found a bonepoint that was pointed in both ends. About 10 minutes later Edvinas found another bonepoint. Half an hour later Erik found yet another bonepoint, this time made out of a ribb and with barbs. All of this before lunch.

Three very happy archaeologists.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After lunch we where getting a bit tired, so the topics of the conversations got a bit abstract, we started talking about how it would be to catch a fish with a fishing pole while scuba diving. In the middle of this intellectual discussion Erik found the fourth bonepoint of the day. Today I found nothing, but tomorrow is going to be my day....

Arne is filming Erik and the fourth bonepoint.
