June 30th - Deb's ALLTOP blog

A day to do some fun things and to study some Algebra and take a look at some of the wonderful links on Alltop.  Here is my Alltop.  I have selected a lot of history, anthropology and archaeology.

Enjoy!

June 29th

Still busy with Algebra but I am very lucky to have Barb Wedow from the Math lab helping me get through things.  I went to do some home work and on the way home my beautiful 2000 Audi TT died on the way home.  The good news is that it is just the alternator.  So this post is admittedly off topic..but a 2000 year car with only about 31,000 miles is a bit of piece of automotive archaeology.  Standing and waiting for a tow truck in 100 degree heat on pavement was not as nice as standing at our dig site.

Enjoy this link about some old British cave art.

June 6th - The End..but to be continued!

This blog will continue with the next dig.  As mentioned previously we had a wonderful time, learned an amazing amount of information in a short period of time and formed life long relationships.  Hat tip to our esteemed leader...Doctor Locascio. He sure taught us a lot.

One very interesting item of interest that we found was a perfume bottle that had a label of "Isaac D. Edrehi". It turns out that Isaac had a shady past and murdered his son and almost murdered his wife.  Here is an article about it.  http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9A02E0D7113BE033A25750C1A9639C94659FD7CF

It is pretty exciting to end the blog with a murder story connected to something we found on the dig.


This blog will continue when Doc. L does his next dig...so stay tuned!  It's been a blast!

May 31st - Thursday

Last day.  We mapped, profiled and used our muscle to back fill all the holes.  After we finished the joint looked as if we had never been there.  That is the idea behind our work.

After we finished at the site, we said a fond farewell, went home, got cleaned up and went to Deb Shaw's house for the best cook out ever.

Working hard together has given us a life long bond.  What a great dig!

May 30th - Wednesday

We are winding down and cleaning artifacts mapping and backfilling.  We had the time of our lives and learned so much!  We are all so grateful to Doc L.
