With the Winter season upon us, I've decided to grow out the beard. Mighty and majestic, the only adjectives I can come up with for beards. I suppose they will do. When I started at the arch. job MCT (Redbeard) had a truly mighty beard. I can only hope to be but a shadow of that beast. If we're to go out in the field as is suggested it will keep my cheeks warm.
Since we're in the lab, we've been tasked with checking paperwork and redlining maps for digitalizing. The run of the mill, regular maps are all done with and we're down to a pile that MCT has dubbed the "shit pile," so named for their great, great, catastrophic inaccuracies. In some spots we can gather information from other areas of the map and notes to recreate what was initially there. But, in others (though, few thank goodness) some matters of complete fiction are derived from the little evidence present. After this experience in fixing and checking I find myself carefully reevaluating the way I excavate. One can always perform better.
After the mapping is complete there was some talk about unpacking the chert type collection (oh yeah, we're in the new lab which is coincidentally about 2 blocks from the old lab) and putting it back together. I'm very excited about this as I'm interested in chert and flintknapping. Got a report from JDK on our regional cherts and I think with the help of V's camera I'll take some photos of the type collection and pair it with some chert information to form some sort of a guide to our local cherts, primarily for my own personal use.
Anywho, back to movies. Watching Julie and Julia. It's pretty good.
