Weather was The Usual. Alternating sun, clouds, rain, driving rain, birds singing happily. You get used to it after a while. Here's the site during one of the sunny spells.
I don't have photos of what I was working on today. It is work in progress and at this point does not photograph well. Why would there be a ridge of debris from the circa 150 AD fort be running smack through the middle of a barracks room from the fort of 50 years later? Something has been filled in or built up or dropped by aliens. I'll try to do better on current events tomorrow.
Another thing about this spot is that it is next to the fence, so I get to talk to visitors. Today I was chatting when a kid of about 11 asked me where I was from.
"Wisconsin", said I.
"Me too", said he.
OK that's unusual, and I wondered if just possibly the kid was putting me on. No judgement mind you, I'd actually admire that level of brass. So I asked him to prove it.
"Go Pack!"
"Nope, not good enough"
"Uh.....Culvers!!!" Yep, he's from Wisconsin. If you know you know.
Perhaps in a bit of similar vein is the fact that just this year wearing camo has become rather common. Excavators and visitors both. Here's a photo taken by my friend Pete. It's me with one of the supervising archaeologists. I suppose you could make up a story about how I ended up wearing her shirt or she my pants, but get real folks, these were in both cases outer layers!
