From the Trenches: Obama, beans vie for my attention
Well it's been a while, and while nothing particularly fascinating has happened to keep me from posting... well. Nothing particularly fascinating happened for quite some time. However, I am now properly back in the archaeological trenches, merrily mattocking out slots in obscure ditches for a commercial company in London. Well, they've hired me to look at some dead folk, but I managed to get a few good days on site (and a truly awesome farmer tan). In all this excitement, I have vaguely kept in the back of my mind that there are some very cool opportunities for archaeological engagement coming up. I'm pretty excited about #dayofarch , which is coming up as part of the Festival of British Archaeology on July 29th 2011 . A merry crew will be offering snapshot glimpses into the lives of archaeologists via blogs and other social media--highly recommended! I hope to see some folk (digitally) appearing. It should be good, you never know when you'll get a day like last
