Field School

I'm back in Springfield Missouri for my Archaeological Field School now. I found the first artifact for this year, even though it was only a flake from a chert core, it was still kewl. Digging all day is pretty easy, it's a relaxing job, but at the same time it's intriguing because you can't wait to scrape the earth to the next level and find something else. I found a few diagnostic artifacts(items that can tell an archaeologist important information about a site), each was a peice of a ceramic, most likely earthenware. One had a blue design around the rim of it, as did another, and a different piece had green and yellow in the design of a flower. It's crazy that I'm the first person to touch it in 200 years, I can't wait to excavate more locations, but the learning process is going well for now.

My roommate Josh and I are hungry and we have no furniture in our new apartment, it's pretty funny because if we really tried we could fix both of those problems. Anywho when I moved in last Saturday, I was carrying my first handful of items from my car and I noticed a girl upstairs on the other side of the complex from me in nothing but blue jeans. Awesome, I think I'm going to like it here. I'm going to take a nap, au revoir.
