Going away for the next 2 weeks to an archaelogic and anthropologic dig! Every year I go to this dig, it's almost like "the every year vacantion". :D

So, when I came back, I want to see subsim up and running and the same people posting here... And you can go posting here what happens!!! :lol:

Untill 2 weeks people!:up:

Your going to dig trenches in Franc...oh, that kind of dig... :roll:

Well, good luck

[Schroeder]

Good luck in iluminating the past.:D

[Rhodes]

Back, and as always, bones, bones, and more bones!!!;)

[Platapus]

Stay safe and have a good time.

If you find any scrolls, don't read them aloud ok?

[Schroeder]

Er, he is already back.;)

[SUBMAN1]

No post means he hasn't found anything. :hmm:

Always wanted to be an archaeologist and go on a dig. :up: Can you bring us back some photos?

[Rhodes]

Do not insult me, I am not an archaeologist, I am an Anthropologist!!!

Eheheheh, little humor here in Portugal, since both courses are separated and have some competition!
The place is a dolmen, from a megalitic complex! Their are 4 or more; number one was already studied! So many human remains and , and the soil is very hard and very difficult to dig!
But we manage to recover many things!

An left Tibia (fragment) that I think it suffered a fracture. By this pic, one can not tell, only with the bone in hand!

[Schroeder]

Do you already know how old that stuff is?:up:

[Platapus]

So lemme get this straight.

The only difference between an Anthropologist and a Dumpster Diver is a few hundred years?
:rotfl:

Possibly, but since i don't know what is a dumpster diver, or the correct translation to portuguese I can not awnser you!:p
I say more that an grave-digger put bones in, and an anthropologist take bones out...

Do you already know how old that stuff is?

The datation of the place is around five thousand years BC or more I think. Late mesolithic, neolithic and early or/and chalcolithic periods; give or take 1 thousand years...
