You can't read it, but my hard hat says, "Bionic Archaeologist: Better, Stronger, Faster."

The Burke Museum has video of me digging at West Point!  This is a great presentation put together by the Burke Museum describing the archaeology of West Point, in Seattle.

This is the first job I had as a professional archaeologist, and I worked on this project in the field and in the lab for one year. In the video clips I'm usually wearing a turquoise turtleneck.

I met my husband while working on this dig, and so I get misty-eyed watching the clips. Yes, I cry watching sewage treatment plant videos. Doesn't everyone?

Me in a pit!
