If you ignore my selfies, which seemed kind of silly as a mechanism of being offed, then this actually is my 6th picture lol

You just died. The sixth picture in your phone is what killed you.
( This was actually my sixth photo... We call it, "fallout salmon," as It looks like something you find in the game lol)

To 36 hours awake, it's time for me to go to bed. I think this is what I need to seal the deal 🥰

I found an HP 12C RPN calculator in the wild yesterday! It's not the good programming version, but it's still really nice. Such beautiful calculators ☺️

Behold: The Cheeto!
This is what we call a nail or other ferric metal object after it's been in the ground too long. It develops this red rust all the way around it and eventually resembles a snack food called a cheeto lol
Before and after I clean it images lol
This one is a wroght nail

Pretty much this is the scene I see most days when I'm working in the field. Buckets, trowels, squishy pads to sit on, and dirt lol these little trowels are the best. I love how tiny they are and super useful. Great for digging in those hard to reach places.

This was my unit a few days ago. I've gone down a couple inches since then and I may have hit the next context interface. We'll have to find out tomorrow after a good cleaning. Silty loam with a little clay, 7.5yr 5/6, cobbles, pebbles, and the hint of the cultural layer.

I came home tonight quite tired from archeology.
It rained and it was really cold as we were trying to clean up the sides of the unit we were excavating. But even as I come home covered in dirt, my tank top dusty, and my body tired...
I feel like wonderful 🥰

3 days of LARP were fun!
I play a dryad archer. Normally, I would wear elf ears, lots of purple/blue body paint, and more. But it doesn't hold up to large-scale LARP combat.
I can say that nobody can get within 150 ft without getting an arrow lol I've been in archer since I was a child.

On my way home after a day of archaelogy 🥰
Sweaty, covered in dirt, tired, and super happy. I took my unit down a couple inches (really tough soil), then meeting it all up. Then I went to the lab for a little bit and cleaned samples. A nice fulfilling day

A book that I need to read.
I got this a year ago and lent it to my father. So now it's my turn to read it.
I also listen to the fascinating talk by the author at our museum.

My new horse bow just arrived!
It's for LARP, so I didn't buy an expensive one. It also has a very low draw weight for the same reason. Only 30 lb. Still, horse bows are pretty. 👩🏹
My 55 lb recurve is unacceptable for LARP 🤣🤣

Elven Ishtar... Maybe... ELFTAR!
The ears look really big in person, but they blend in too much to really stand out in this photo. They're actually going to be my dryad ears for LARP, but they made my impromptu costume this year.
Anyway, time to get to bed. Elftar is tired lol

Tonight's reading material for bed. Gosh, I just love archaeology papers 🥰
I also like some of the very asymmetric adornment designs found in late Neolithic to Chalcolithic Anatolia.
