Early Human Settlement in Arctic Alaska

Hey Karl, WOW, sounds like you're busy up in the north country. Great finds, the flakes are always interesting. Have you found that you keep looking forward to what is in the next sample? I think that is one overall arch. goals; each sample could lead to something special. Best wishes for loads of discoveries, Frank Kelley - Nuvuk, 2008

Yes, I found that I was almost addicted to digging. I wouldn't stop for the tea break because I KNEW something incredible was going to be in the next few centimeters of soil. It's interesting to step back and see the trends of where artifacts where located - not in certain layers of clay, but very common in other layers. We started to see these patterns after digging in several units through the same layers. Then you have to wonder what caused those trends... It's really a challenging puzzle. Hope you're well,
Karl
