Hiatus ending...

Geez, has it really been almost 2 months since I last posted?!

During that time away I've gone back to the old grind; back to working those dreadful graveyard hours again. Took a while to make that adjustment. Seems like each time I go through that transition it gets just that much harder to do. Hopefully though, this will be the last time I have to deal with that.

Still have much to write up concerning field school. The last week (week 6) proved to be quite intense. Lots of last minute finds of significance while trying to wrap things up according to our deadline. An exhausting week, but productive and enlightening as well.

Since then I've been working weekday mornings in the lab as a volunteer, helping to get everything catalogued. It looks like that part of the project will finally be wrapped up on Monday.

I'll be picking away at the keyboard this weekend to cover as many of the remaining field school highlights as I can. Need to get that out of the way 'cuz other things are coming up to talk about. These next 2 months are going to be hectic!

To start with, next week I'll be going on my first paid gig. Woo-hoo! It's only going to last for a week but, hey, ya gotta start somewhere right? This will be the initial phase of a cemetary relocation project near Indy. I'll come back with more details about that later.

After that, there will be 2 weeks during which I'll be participating at a dig near Evansville, along the Ohio River. And, overlapping with that will be a few weekends where I'll be helping out at another dig near Indy. Of course, in between I'll have to be back at the home place dealing with the regular job thing. Bummer. And I intend to continue helping out in the lab as well.

Anywho, big things coming up that'll have me on the go pretty much through the end of October. Looking forward to all of it.

Stay tuned!
