Back From Aniakchak
I’m back from Aniakchak. I arrived in St. Paul yesterday morning after 12 hours of travel. (We essentially went from Aniakchak Lagoon to Minnesota without stopping – except to change planes). It was/is a great field season (Ross, Gina, Caleb, and Kelly are still at the site working for another 10 days).
We found some interesting features including this nice big pile of fire- cracked rock and wood.

As usual, we excavated a lot of shell midden – enough to keep all my Hamline archaeology students busy for the next year sorting and cataloging. We made several interesting discoveries – which I’ll write more about over the next couple of weeks. I need to first take care of my emails, phone messages, and all the dreaded University paper work. I wish I were back in Aniakchak right about now.
