The bay
This site is where we’re digging. Beautiful, rugged, amazing.
Do I like the digging and sifting?
I’m in love! It’s gritty, tiring, sweaty work but hey…
Maybe I’ll even go back and get my Masters in Archeology!
The students on the dig are young and enthusiastic and bursting with energy.
The profs are generous with time and patience.
Archaeobotantist extraordinaire
There’s a lot of measuring and counting and observing too. But all good in my opinion.
At this Neolithic spot I found an extremely old seal’s tooth—
as well as deer teeth and fish bones. The biggest finds we’re two big pots!
On our first day, a team from CBC came to film and interview the students. The piece is due out Fall 2023.
Hubby and I. Tired but happy.
The dorms, 20 minutes away, are clean and well made and the staff friendly. Today was the official final day of the dig. The students filled in the holes they had dug and bid farewell to the bay. Bittersweet but THEY have been here all month.
Friday we head out to Boothbay with the rv and two
friends who will camp beside us. It’s too soon to leave here but adventures lie ahead.
Living the dream

I just recently watched Expedition Unknown and Expedition X with host Josh Gates. It was incredible: https://www.discovery.com/shows/expedition-unknown/episodes/7a2a/egypts-lost-tombs
Color me jealous.... I so miss my anthropology/archaeology days. Seems likes a lifetime ago. Happy Adventuring! ~Robin~
Glad you are having fun! Hope you find more treasures! Janice
Thank you Saundra. I hadn’t heard of it until you mentioned it! I’ll get on it. We love to watch j the old Time Teams
Thanks Robin! At 51.5 I feel blessed to be doing it!
Me too Janice, me too
It all looks exciting to see what you can find. There must be so many hidden treasures just waiting to be found. I think this is a great way to spend your vacation. Enjoy the rest of your time away.
Hugs,

It is just beautiful there & finding cool artifacts had to be rewarding !
Thanks Julia! It’s pretty exciting. Now we’re in Boothbay and it’s very crowded.
Very definitely rewarding
