Yesterday was a complete mess for me. My allergies are killing me and to top it off I have some kind of rash thing going on. So this has made excavating awful. Now don't get me wrong I love excavating minus the allergy attacks in the field. I am hoping that when we move to the next location there will be less weeds and more grass. Our current location is 400 S. William street and it is the Sons of Israel Synagogue and adjoining lots. The team has recovered lots of bricks, ceramics, nails and glass fragments from the 1 meter x 1 meter excavation plots. The hands on experience is just amazing and I really love this part of acrhaeology. I like the discovery process. There are moments when you are finding nothing that you wonder why you are sitting with the sun beating down on your skin why you are doing this and then you come across a real small fragment of ceramics or some other material and you remember why. Its the smal glimpses into the past from the remains left behind. So I am currently thinking that I am going to double major in archival studies and forensic archaeology/anthropology.
I guess I should get me butt in gear and go and pick up some totes so I can get some more packing done. Not to mention the fact that I must work more tonight. I have now decide my husband is a pain in the ass. I really think that he needs a hobby or something. He is driving me crazy, telling me that I have more important things to do than blog... says the man who puts off everything to the last minute.
So I have to say having drinks tonight with my hubby and BFF was awesome. I have missed just hanging out like that. I have a million things to get accomplished before its back to digging in the dirt tomorrow morning. Lets keep our fingers crossed that my allergies stay in check and I can make it through the day tomorrow. I think we are moving to out next location. I am super excited about that one.
