Taking a Day Off

Well, I did not go to the site today, stayed back to some of the other work that needs to be done on an archaeological dig. This means I washed bone and marked pottery. When it comes to marking pottery...only the really good stuff that we uncover actually gets kept, the rest goes back to Tel Gezer. We must write on the pottery we keep certain information so that people can always access the pottery for papers, museums and the like. You have to write really small (something which I do well). Tonight is a huge concert by Robert Waters of Pink Floyd. I guess he sings some of his own stuff, as well as Pink Floyd hits. It is happening right below us and they are expecting 35,000 to 50,000 people to show up for the concert. No sleep for us diggers tonight!!!! But there is a plus, we get to watch and listen to a free concert. And...since we are digging around rock walls..."another brick in the wall" really actually fits. So long all!!!

I want to see Roger Waters you lucky girl. Also I want to see some more pictures of your site and the pottery and stuff you're digging up, as its exciting to know someone on Archaeology's front lines. -love, Brent
