Fieldwork, fieldwork, and more fieldwork.

I've been in the field pretty much non-stop since mid-March.  It's been fun, but it's been exhausting.  I've been living in hotel rooms in small towns and watching lots of bad television.  Granted, I've made up for it by having lots of really great weekends back at home, but, I'm glad to finally have a few weeks back in town and in the office until the madness starts back up again.  Here are some random photos from my recent few months of fieldwork.

(I still don't like the way photos with captions look in this setup, but I don't know how to change it.  If only I could do a little slideshow setup for each post, where you could flip from photo to photo with a button...)

Surveying in the snow.

Guess we're not going to survey today.

This thing is almost 4 feet long.  I found three of them.

Tarantula!

Gallina country.

You may not be able to tell, but that big mound of dirt and rocks is actually an 800-year old tower room.

Crazy, twisted dart point.

This ceramic sherd was refashioned into a pendant.  Cool.

Rio Grande Gorge

An Apache metal arrow point and historic glass bead.

At least it was a pretty place to get the truck stuck.

... and then we had to get the truck unstuck.

There is cool old stuff around Taos.
