Parents,
Another fabulous day at the dig site. This morning the tangerine team found a beautifully intact arrowhead that has been dated approximately 5000 years old by our Archaeologist Chief Krumrine. Even the research interns had not found such a nice arrowhead at their field camps. I will wait until Chief Krumrine posts her findings and let her describe the significance of the site.
Another highlight for the past two days has been the fascinating interviews that our campers have conducted across the Geneseo Campus. Our campers have discussed the issue of the dig with the Assistant Provost, Associate VP of Advancement, brilliant scholars, opinionated business people and interesting Alumni.
I posted some of the pictures that have been taken on at the summer camp. I will try to add to them daily as the camp goes on.
One hardship of the camp has been the heat!!! All the campers have water bottles and are encouraged to drink as much as possible all day long. We have tried to adjust our schedules during the afternoon to keep the kids out of the sun. However the afternoon dig class has no choice and just needs to take it easy walking back and forth from the air conditioned classrooms to the hotter than hades dig site. There is a canopy and water once they get to the site but the path down there is pure sun.
Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do. Tomorrow camper pick up is at Dr. Freddie Thomas High School at 5:30pm.
Ciao,
Susan
