WORKIE WORKIE WORKIE
We officially started the excavation on the 26th. For the first two weeks, I’ll be in the Small Finds room restoring coins and interpreting objects. For the last two, I’ll use our computer-aided design program to digitize the site plans for the excavation.
This means I get to wake up two hours later than everyone else, have tea whenever I want, stay reasonably clean, and (I forgot to mention) PLAY WITH SWEET ANCIENT OBJECTS!
Yesterday I cleaned two Roman coins, one of which became completely readable and bore the face of Constantine!
The only downside is that I’ll spend a few hours a day inhaling the cleaning acid. One of the directors told me I’m going to have “psychadellic dreams”!
