The Importance of Experience in Archeology

I've dug in amazing places. My first dig was in Rona Research Dig as a student in Puerto Rico. Then I started working on deep urban strat sites in London, where there's just this multi-period and you're excavating anything from the Victorians downwards essentially. And then I went to Chatelapolio, Kentucky, which is a completely different ballgame. It was just an amazing education, I suppose. Sometimes I just kind of sit back and go, did I actually do that? Oh, you don't actually dig up the Queen's Garden. Yes, I did.
