My major motion picture… a horror film (about archeology)

So a short little note from today… last week I had been working on excavating a tabun. So today I was working on articulating a wall. Lo and behold… I found more pieces of tabun which had been covered by some rocks and a lot of dirt.

I feel like I am in a bad horror movie in which everywhere I turn I keep finding pieces of tabun! Yikes! I can see it now: I go to the other side of the area and discover some tabun, so I move to another place and of course… more tabun! No matter where I move I see tabun and the camera circles… and then I scream and run away.

Unfortunately I am not allergic to tabun (maybe I should pray about this) because it is such a pain to articulate when it keeps breaking on me. I tried to tell Mario that I was allergic to it at dinner today, he didn’t believe me… :-(

Some of my area-mates are fed up with the tabun and want to destroy it once the official photos have been taken and the measurements and drawings are complete. I think a sledge hammer may be in order (believe me.. pictures of destruction will be coming soon). And then, when it is destroyed, I will hopefully never see one again (or if I do I might have nightmares).

P.S. Biblical Archeology has linked our blogs to their site! My blogs are posted at http://digmegiddo2010.wordpress.com/
