SO. YES.
Continuing. From 2 days ago.
We were working in a military zone, and had found some pretty awesome things.
A pebble back tool, some amazing hearths, a pretty purple heat treated rock...
So all in all things were going very very well to start with...
This was until the military showed up.
At first this took the form of a large cargo plane with cargo doors opening circling over head...
Progressively lower...
Now this kind of behaviour normally freaks people out...
But not Simon...
Who decided that now was the perfect time to utter his famous words: "whats the worst that could happen?"
We were soon to find out...
But for now we continued on, plane circling overhead, not even mildly concerned... I swear...
Soon enough a Chinook joined the party and began circling too...
At this point we were like... yes... ummm... hmmmmmmm...
A white smoke grenade went off somewhere in the distance by one of the bunkers and the two aircraft ceased circling and landed just over by the bunkers...
We continued work...
Within 10 minutes two cars of military personel pulled up beside our work area...
A little irate...
We showed our permits...
They were not satisfied...
We had 3 hours to clean up and pack down.
And to not ever come back.
This put us into hyperdrive for the afternoon trying frantically to record all the data possible in the short time we had been given...
In the end we analyzed and recorded 654 artefacts, excavated 4 hearths, took 5 OSL dates and ran around like frantic things for a number of hours...
The beers consumed this eve were definitley earnt.
So so so pretty!!!! A pebble back tool :3
Not your everyday desert wear.
A pretty purple fire-cracked rock!
One of the hearths :D
