Digging Dreams.....

Winter still holds Wisconsin in its icy grip, but hints of Spring sometimes pop up in the least expected ways.

One of my fellow excavators at the Vindolanda Roman site thoughtfully sent a few pictures of our digging last May.  These are different from the usual stuff I post because:

1. I am in them, and
2. He has the talent and equipment to take some darn good photos.

Small finds marker staff.  Moderate amounts of mud.

Down in the serious, early Roman mud

Gloomy skies, brilliant green.

Not so very many weeks to go now.  I have my travel bag out, a few items of kit already packed....
