Every now and then I get the urge to write, as it helps me to flesh out ideas and make connections. Unfortunately, I rarely have both the time and the inclination. Working at Ferry Farm has given me a bit to think and write about, ranging from typical "dig diary" sort of stuff some people might be curious about (Another Washington figurine piece today!) to jokes (What's the difference between a career in archaeology and a large pizza? A large pizza can feed a family of four). I enjoy skimming accounts from other field schools, and I've my share of fieldwork to rant and rave about.
I've also found a number of archaeology mailing lists. Compiling the interesting discussions, articles, semi-available/published literature, and reviews would both make things easier and be good practice for grad school.
I may or may not get started this week, but I only have a few weekends left in Virginia and would like to do some more traveling. Comments? Suggestions? Jokes?
