Clips from the field...

Of the past week, I thought these were the two most interesting video clips. My Gulf Coast page is without blogger functions so I'll just post clips here.


Rain for the most part does not deter us from excavating; however, test pozos are drained daily. In flood zones teams use water pumps do the work, here buckets get it done. Water does little damage to the pits stratigraphic layers (it quickly absorbs and evaporates); though over many years it does break down organic cultural material (wood, textiles, bones, etc.).

When your motor dies, improvise… Grab a shovel (I grabbed my camera). Most of the sites in the Arroyo Pesquero are accessible only by boat, so boat rides have been a routine.
