Going away for the next 2 weeks to a dig!
 

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

Good luck in iluminating the past.:D

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

Stay safe and have a good time.

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

Er, he is already back.;)

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

-S

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

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!

A Megalitic Complex.....something like this perhaps :hmm:

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

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

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...

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...
