As you can tell, we have a connection! I must take back what I said yesterday about the guys at the Internet cafe. They did what they could, then explained to me the problem, at which point the problem seemed all too familiar... so I used one of their machines to dial up my JournalScape entry for March 20 to get the answer and get things working, just as they closed. Boo crashing iBook! Yay JournalScape!
Other connections today too. The woman in charge of YAT's finds staffing dropped off a lecture poster for 5pm tonight, about archaeology in Syria, because I had mentioned working in Egypt. So I attended, and found Julian Richards there as well.
He's in charge of the Archaeological Data Services entity here at the University of York, and he attended our small conference at UCLA when I worked for the Digital Archaeology Lab. We're going to have lunch on the 28th, he'll show me his operation, and I'll show off the Panoscan for him then, and make a pano or two of King's Manor, a medieval building that houses the dept.
Today we worked on finds from a place called Welham Bridge, where they've got a small dig in advance of road construction. Mostly the finds I had to wash were bones, medieval pottery, and stones. We got to work outside, which was literally cool at first, then rather pleasantly sunny and breezy.
My washing table with trays of stone, bone, and pottery.
Our wet sieving set-up, which I'll explain later, in front of a medieval river gatehouse attached to the lab.
The medieval gate tower attached to the lab.
A rose in the garden adjacent to the lab. It's rather overgrown, and we dump dirty water there. At least a few rats live in there and aren't all that afraid. I watched one climb up a stem and perhaps try to get a tweety bird. It flew away and he wandered around and tried to stay on his stem, but kept flopping off and climbing back on.
Most likely I shan't be posting again for the next few days. I intend to shoot some panos tomorrow after work for a couple hours. On Friday we'll probably have a BBQ and/or pubbing. Saturday should be pano shooting all day, may post in the evening.
