The temps here are all over the place: 28 degrees this morning and 63 this afternoon. We had a quiet day at work today. Jeff, Carla, and Thadra are back out at the Suwannee River. They are being joined by a volunteer from Ohio who apparently worked here last year. They will be back on Friday. Brendon, a student at FAMU, was in this afternoon, but we won't see him again until Thursday. Dave and I worked all day on sorting artifacts. I had the best find of the day: a 4000 year old shark tooth that had two small holes drilled in the top. Someone probably wore this around his neck. I meant to take a picture for the blog, but forgot. I will try to do it tomorrow. Our eyes were falling out of our heads by the end of the day - the snake vertebrae especially are very tiny. We probably won't do too much reading tonight. The good news is that we are almost at the end of the last bag. We will still have some re-sorting to do before we are satisfied with the job, but the end is in sight! We ended up going out for dinner last night to Sonny's Bar-B-Q (thanks to brother Ed for introducing us to Sonny's last year). It was delicious and we had plenty of leftovers to have barbeque sandwiches tonight - also good.
