Is it meant for publishing?<br /><br />Actually this last dig of mine was the first time I was ever allowed to take and even to post photos of what we found. When the boss saw that I loved photography he encouraged me to take pictures of the human life of a dig. He asked for a CD of them at the end. <br />Then my co-workers (all Arab men) started asking for prints of them working. It got to be time consuming and expensive. But also kind of like a mitsvah. :)<br />Most of the men will never have a computer or a camera and probably have few photos of themselves.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-69386471242810036742009-08-21T15:08:50.321+02:002009-08-21T15:08:50.321+02:00"Cow infested fields"--haha, good one.

Germs shmerms.<br /><br />Listen Archaeogoddess, I finally answered your comment question:<br />Because it was a burial ground we were accompanied 8 hours a day by a rabbi from Atra Kaddisha. We were not allowed to dig if he or his locum was not present. <br />Even though they were not Jewish bones, but Canaanite, they were treated respectfully. After examination in the lab, they will be reburied in some secret place. <br />Our dig was a salvage or rescue dig. By now the bulldozers of the building contractor have readied the site for construction of a highrise apartment building. <br /><br />But here I might add:<br />As you say, "back when," my archaeologist boss had to have police guard his house after receiving threats from the haredim. Apparently nowadays the two sides have come to a modus vivendi.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-561219970068760092009-08-21T09:07:00.095+02:002009-08-21T09:07:00.095+02:00Kelli - Could be worse, he could have a foot-ugly ...Kelli - Could be worse, he could have a foot-ugly butt :-)Garkbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12234102759650383703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-62038688018384986412009-08-20T17:11:45.242+02:002009-08-20T17:11:45.242+02:00What a crock.

I've walked through fish markets and Roman sewers, not to mention Copenhagen pedestrian streets after the (some of the) bars close!<br /><br />I wash 'em down from time to time, but they do have that special sweaty leather smell. They have got to be cleaner than my sneakers, though. I excavated and walked cow infested fields in those things!Archaeogoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09305683483488880519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9130750.post-47711796521698395182009-08-20T12:00:18.748+02:002009-08-20T12:00:18.748+02:00Poor intern, got hit with the story no one wanted ...Poor intern, got hit with the story no one wanted to do.
