I haven't posted not because I'm dead, but because I've been working on something top secret. I'm having a fun (if occasionally frustrating) time excavating this area, and I am really excited about the super awesome discoveries we've made in the past few days. Unfortunately, we've been banned from discussing the latest findings on blogs or Facebook since we are still working on our understanding of the archaeology, and we don't want information going around until we are ready. So, here are a few photos of what I've been doing the past week, with the important stuff blurred out (sorry!).

| Extreme Total Station-ing. No total stations were hurt in the making of this photo. No promises on director's backs or knees, however. Also, I should mention that the big wall is infested with sun spiders (big yellow scorpion things that jump at your face and sting you if you try to kill them). |
In other news, our Old Kingdom specialist (Valerie) has arrived, Jon left last week (boo!), and Aaron is leaving Wednesday morning. I'm sure Greg is super excited to be in a house full of ladies again. Oh, and I did mention we have only four days of excavation left in my area, and a TON still left to do? Everyone is freaking out. We only have exactly two more weeks in Edfu!
