Warm(ish) Weather = Flotation! | time.space.shell.
https://southeasternshellresearch.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/warmish-weather-flotation
Warm(ish) Weather = Flotation! In archaeology there are several methods of collecting and processing data and a lot of them can be performed in the lab. Sometimes, however, there is a need to do what is called flotation (click on this link to see a short video of flotation using a commercially-made tank). This is when a sample is put into a deep screen which sits inside a tank that is being pumped with water from below the screen. Flotation tank set-up (photo by Abigail Hyndman).

MCAP Field School, Week 7: Parting is such sweet sorrow… | time.space.shell.
https://southeasternshellresearch.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/mcap-field-school-week-7-parting-is-such-sweet-sorrow
MCAP Field School, Week 7: Parting is such sweet sorrow…. I think some of the students were a bit sad. I remember that feeling after my first field school. You grow close to a group of people, you get used to seeing them everyday, and then bam! We close this week with some fun facts and statistics from this season (but be sure to check back in July — we will be blogging from the lab):. We recorded over 245 field specimens. We used just about 250 50-lb feed bags for sample collection. We consumed a cumula...

MCAP Field School, Week 6: Rounding the corner | time.space.shell.
https://southeasternshellresearch.wordpress.com/2012/06/22/mcap-field-school-week-6-rounding-the-corner
MCAP Field School, Week 6: Rounding the corner. There are only 4 field days left to our field school, but that doesn’t mean we get to sit in the shade and eat ice cream for the next week! This week we moved a lot of dirt (per usual), learned some new tricks (like the GPR), and began the final stages of full documentation — photos, mapping (lots of mapping), sediment profiles, radiocarbon samples, column sampling, and the like. MCAP Field School student Pam Hoffman excavates a 50×50 cm column sample.

MCAP Field School, Week 7: Beginning of the end | time.space.shell.

MCAP Field School, Week 7: Beginning of the end. Today we began the several-day long process of closing up the site. We have some documentation to finish, but we now have three units officially backfilled. Backfilling is always bittersweet. You spend weeks carefully excavating a square area in very small increments. . . Dr Peres collecting some final samples before the unit is backfilled. Only to throw all the dirt back in in a matter of an hour or so. There is much more of this in our very near future!
