Howdy from Bloomington

It has been quite a while since our last post.  I have been spending a lot of time in Indiana working.  I don't want to post details on the internet, but in general we are examining archaeological materials in an area that will soon be covered by a road.  

Here I am with one of my coworkers:

Here is a view of our parking area and break/work tent.  I do my computer work in this tent.  We also store our supplies in the tent, and usually have lunch there too.  I am standing at the start of the site, which is uphill from the tent.  Since I take all the photos for the project, I hike up and down this hill frequently.

Over the past week, we have had some impressive clouds appearing in the afternoon.  We haven't gotten significant rain from these clouds, but they are still nice to observe.

Here I am with another one of my work buddies.  I have to wear a safety vest because there is a backhoe and bobcat working on site and I walk all around the site (so I need to be visible).
