At about same time, Erika Varady of Kansas State University submits a post about her work on Catalina Island in California. The antenna for the unit looks sort of like a small space ship on a pole attached to a back pack, so whoever wears it each day tends to get a lot of strange looks from the people we meet or cars driving by on the main road through the valley. Erika's blog entry tells us that she is suffering from sunburn, blisters, and perpetual chocolate cravings. And, as with Hope and Albania dig sites, entire world is peeking in. fact that Jamie, Lily, Colleen, Erika, and more than 100 others are studying Indiana Jones style is highly appropriate given that Indiana Jones and Kingdom of Crystal Skull is playing on screens in thousands of movie theaters during summer of 2008. rest of us peering in from around world are armchair Indiana Jones'. Sitting here from office at Indiana University, I find myself among them. Fieldwork is hot, sweaty, and difficult, especially when it involves walking over fields, hills, and cliffs on sheep trails, but I wouldn't trade it for anything because the world is open. But I can be learning from their experiences almost as instantaneously as they are thanks for Web. |
