Subject: RE: one for archaeologists....
Nice song, Ivy. I enjoyed it. Have you ever been on a dig where you made any good finds? What were they?

What sort of site were you excavating in Suffolk? ----------- I made my only archeological find by accident. I was hiking in the forested White Mountains of New Hampshire and saw a piece of rock on the trail. Being a rockhound, I said to myself, "Pieces of rock are really rare here, what with all the stupid trees. I'll take this home." When I got it home, I observed it more closely and realized it was a scraper as seen in all the textbooks.

Fortunately the White Mountains are a national forest, not a national park, so I hadn't accidentally committed a federal crime.
