Day 23: Attack of the camel spider

So today started as per usual...
Early wake...
Early to the field...
Nail out transects...
Profit...
Rince and repeat till out of nails...

This was successfull :3
In the early part of the morning I located an unusual arrowhead...


The arrowhead :3

So the arrowheads from the neolithic normally kinda look like the startrek logo... shorter on one side and kind of curved... this one is entirely straight... complete... and no curvature...

Its definitley neolithic as its size and general shape are inkeeping, however its not like any of the other projectile points we have found in this area, or in previous years of survey...

Any ideas??? plz gimmeh...

After some debate on this matter it was buisness as usual until...


a wild spongebob blew accross our survey area

So... we were just walking around minding our own buisness... when all of a sudden...
SPONGEBOB..
how does this even get out into the desert?
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
nobody knows...
perhaps its a sign from our ancestors...
some kind of portent to the future...
D:

We continued on our field survey...
I warn those light of heart to turn back now...
Because I certinally almost wet myself in fear at what happened next D:

The first sign of things begining to go from good to bad came in the form of a dead snake.
Ever wanted to know what a dead snake looks like?
I havent...
It was horrifying...


The horror... The horror...


The next thing was probably my fault...
uhhh...
yeah...
So uhh...
So there are all these little holes around the desert, kinda fist sized...
And for the entire field season I have wondered what they are...
Today I decided to look at what they were...
By poking a rebar down there...
As it turns out...
This is not a smart thing to do.

About 3 seconds later I was screaming like a baby girl 
As it turns out camel spiders live down there...
Very angry camel spiders...
Who want to kill me...


Photo not mine... I was too goddam scared to take a photo of the abomination...


Screamed.
Like.
A.
Girl.
D:

So long story short...
Today... 
Almost died...
