I realized I haven't said much about it really...

I am going to be away until sometime Friday night, working on a project out at Buttermilk Creek, about 2 hours away from here. It is a Paleoindian site with a Clovis and possibe pre-clovis component. Apparently they are through the Clovis deposits now, and last week the found a biface (spear point, to use the vernacular, although that's a huge generalization and probably not correct at all - I'm not going to go in to it here ;p) in a layer that they lnk dates to around 15000 BP. i don't know what they're basing the dates on, but I'm guess they're going by general stratigraphy. I really don't know many of the details beyond that. It's a phase three though, which is why I'm going - I need the digging experience.

I'll be back on the weekends and have no plans at the moment, though I am assuming there is Faust on Sunday?

I'm nt going to have the internet, or even my laptop while I'm away, so don't miss me too hard ;)

You might like this book (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Riptide/Douglas-Preston/e/9780446607179/?tabname=custreview). It's about the search for a pirate's treasure... pretty nice fluff reading.

I was still afk when you left, so I guess you'll get this when you're back... hope you are having/had a good time!
