It's not hard to make an Englishman blush



Today our dream came true. After tennis Fraser conducted a workshop on lithic technologies. We practiced identifying some tools from a 2007 excavation at Wind Wolves (at Pinwheel). We're all hoping to resume the workshop soon so that we can discuss flake morphology in more depth and go over categorizing the artifacts.

At site today we walked off a bit to see it all from a distance and talk about where we might put further pits and otherwise how to proceed with the site. We haven't found a great deal of material at the cave on the lower terrace, but that might be a result of the wash of the slope--or it could be that a more residential area was located farther upslope. Anyway, we also noticed this shark-like feature, reminiscent of the Chumash's animals turned to stone (bone?).
