Friends and interested folk, welcome to my Swamp log!
This is the first entry of what I hope to be a regularly updated log.
We just wrapped up day two of the 2011 field school. This is the third year of the field school, being hosted by American University and my third year in attendance. I return, for the second time, as a teaching assistant, and an active researcher. The past two days were spend in the lab, introducing the students to the project background, the history revolving around the Dismal Swamp and a workshop in artifact recognition, both those materials commonly found within and outside of the swamp.
After bagels and a great deal of coffee, all of the needed materials have been collected and await the coming journey. The next step will be to pack and converge at our place of lodging for the remainder of the field session.
Thanks for stopping by and having a look and the first of many swamp logs! Tune in next time to find out if we made it to the swamp with all screens in tact.
