The Blogaeological Record

Update.

Hey Folks,

To the three of you who will ever actually read this post: how were your summers? To the rest of you: you will never see this anyway so I can be as offensive as I want! WAHAHAhahaa…… Ok, maybe I wont. I’m supposed to promote readership (and archaeology for that matter) right? I’ll try not to send anyone running, but I’m not making any promises.

Let’s talk about me. My summer was great – an excellent two months of field work at Hohle Fels in the Schwabian Alb of south western Germany would put anyone in a good mood. The project is run out of the University of Tübingen, and I’ve got to say, it was well organized and just a great project, one that I enjoyed very much! I suppose excavating Aurignacian layers and finding pierced teeth, i.e. some of the earliest examples of consistent ‘style’ through personal adornment in the archaeological record, is enough to convince anyone that Palaeolithic Europe is (and was?) the place to be!

Now it’s back to the grind here at UMich and, of course, I’ve got too much work to do already, but I’m going to try and build the blog back into my weekly schedule as a means for my prelim studying (which are coming up in late November early December!). After all the best way to learn is through teaching right? and who better to try to teach than a non-existant readership? A readership that probably knows more about the subjects I will approach than I do. This is going to go swimmingly.

Are you ready for a few months of fuzzy headed posts on Archaeological theory? Oh dear.
