Chapter 21: The Thaw is On. This entry was posted on March 31, 2012 by archaeologyhughes. It was filed under Uncategorized. The mark of a true archaeologist: excitement about burned bricks and grotty pottery. Not much else, but I wanted to let you know I’ve been reading and enjoying your blog. April 1, 2012 at 14:25.

Chapter 15: In which I participate in wine making. | Ryan in Georgia
https://archaeologyhughes.wordpress.com/2011/03/16/chapter-15-in-which-i-participate-in-wine-making
Chapter 15: In which I participate in wine making. Wine is an important component of Georgian culture, and they are very proud of their traditions of wine making. Though not everyone makes their own wine, it is extremely common. Before I moved from my old apartment, I had the opportunity to help my landlord make wine. Step 1: Harvesting the Grapes. Grapes on the vine. A small portion of the full harvest. Step 2: Crushing the Grapes. Nic adding the grapes to the crushing device. Once it has reached the ap...

Chapter 13: In which I celebrate my first Hogmanay | Ryan in Georgia
https://archaeologyhughes.wordpress.com/2011/02/21/chapter-13-in-which-i-celebrate-my-first-hogmanay
Chapter 13: In which I celebrate my first Hogmanay. Fragment of the beard of the Great Sphinx in the British Museum. The clock tower in which Big Ben resides. It was a particularly wet day with dense fog that created an eerie quiet about the town. The castle sits on a prominent hill giving it its legendary defensive advantages. On the way up, we passed by a graveyard that, with the fog, was like something out of a horror film:. Lit torches in Parliament Square. Me and me torch. Torches in the twilight.

Chapter 18: In Which All Systems are Down | Ryan in Georgia
https://archaeologyhughes.wordpress.com/2011/08/11/chapter-18-in-which-all-systems-are-down
Chapter 18: In Which All Systems are Down. The 24th happened to be Easter morning and the family I was living with kindly brought me a traditional Georgian Easter meal. And yes that is a bottle of wine behind the tray. It was incredibly generous of the family to share their food with me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. As I was finishing up dessert, the music playing on my computer stopped and that most dreaded of images came on the screen. Oh what’s that computer? Let me help you find it. I know I have bee...

https://archaeologyhughes.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/chapter-16-in-which-i-attend-my-first-international-conference
Chapter 16: In which I attend my first international conference. As some may know, my dissertation project is part of a larger survey effort being carried out under the direction of my advisor Prof. Christopher Ratté. The National Museum invited Prof. Ratté and his team to present on the work being undertaken around the site of Vani. As Prof. Ratté was unable to attend the conference, I had the honor of presenting our work to the gathered audience. Here are a couple of shots from the conference:. The pre...

Chapter 22: Letter from the Front | Ryan in Georgia
https://archaeologyhughes.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/chapter-22-letter-from-the-front
Chapter 22: Letter from the Front. News since my last post:. 2) We have surveyed two 4km2 grid squares with both intensive and extensive survey. We have started in our third and should be done with it by the middle of June. Hopefully we can complete two more grids giving us a total of 7 grids. My heart was set on 8, but the enormity of this task is beginning to set in. I now totally understand all the curly hair jokes they made on 30 Rock. Curly hair is a curse.

Chapter 20: In which I experience an actual winter | Ryan in Georgia
https://archaeologyhughes.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/chapter-20-in-which-i-experience-an-actual-winter
Chapter 20: In which I experience an actual winter. Sure people have yelled at marshrutka drivers. Sure occasionally they listen (for instance to stop or to go faster). I have, however, never exeperienced a marshrutka driver actually slow down. I must not have been the only one mentally taking into account all my sins just in case St. Peter wanted some explanations. Again, thanks to the kindness of strangers I arrived in Vani in one piece. The Giorgadze home. Vani, The Republic of Georgia. The brand new ...
