The weekend before last I got to help excavate a shell midden on San
Nicolas Island (California). We got to the unit and cleaned it out -
it had been covered but not filled in by last year's crew - and almost
immediately reached the bottom of the cultural material. We kept
going a bit farther then augered down another 130 cm, but found
nothing but sterile dirt. So we made drawings, took pictures, and
filled the whole thing in. Which left just enough time to lay the
string on another unit before we had to leave <sigh>.

Oh, well. We've still got two more trips out there this semester, and
at least I got some lab experience helping the other teams sort drek.


Nothing is not nothing! It only is not what you liked more.
