The Neverending Delineation

[pinksonia]

    Mississippi is officially my new favorite place to work.  You only have to dig shovel tests to 50cm instead of a meter like Georgia and there is actually stuff to find.  We found  another prehistoric site today which means I have officially found more in one month in Mississippi than I did in the nine months I spent in Louisiana last year.  Also fewer swamps.  Any day I don't have to wade through a swamp is good day. 

    Today we were supposed to do a quick little area survey in the morning and then do some pipeline survey and finish an access road.  The area was a square 150m on each side, and should have taken no more than two hours to finish.  Turns out, the entire area was covered by a site, so we spent nearly nine hours delineating.  Steven got another point, which brings the total for this project up to six plus various partials.

    I'm really hoping that we get to take at least one of these sites we've located to a phase two.   I want the chance to dig units without having to spend 28 days at a time in Kansas while I'm paying rent in Louisiana.  Plus the woodland  site looks really cool, and I don't even like prehistorics.
