Well, we wrapped up excavations last Friday, and I drove home to Maryland on Monday, with a brief stop-over at the New York State Museum to check out their curation procedures and return the equipment they generously loaned me. I will be working in the lab now, washing, sorting, cataloging, and analyzing the artifacts recovered from this summer. Right now, there are approximately 33 document boxes worth of artifacts, 12 of which have been washed. I'll be posting more regularly here, now that I'm out of the field, and will have a little more brain power left at the end of the day...
Before I completely transition to lab rat, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all those who helped out this summer. I especially want to thank the folks who volunteered their time to help out with the fieldwork through cold and rainy June, and hot and sweltery July. It was an absolute pleasure to work with all of them. I hope they all got something positive out of the experience. I can honestly say that because of them (as well as the staff and Board of Directors of Wiawaka and all the people and organizations that lent equipment) the field season was a huge success.
So... a huge thank you to all these folks:

I've been following this place from a long time. I have found many useful things like sharing a helping others the prosperity. I was following you guys on https://legitimate-writing-services.blogspot.com/. I am very pleased to know that you are doing such good things and exploring the world of artifacts.
That is the one deed for which I like to thanks for the person which has been doing it all the time. It is all about the writemyaustralia.com which you have been talking about in this post from the start.
In the New York State Museum many things are shows so that people have fun themselves and watches the new things do my assignment services on it which is very good looking and inspiring as well. I really like this post and I’ll be back here.
Thank you for this instructive post. There are some ideas that need to be shared. net worth
