Hey Sue, I have opened up this new topic so you can tell me a little about digging for Bronze Age stuff in Aragon... If you see this please elaborate.. you must have some interesting things to tell...
When was this, how was it arranged and what did you dig up????

Hi, Richard, it was in 1992--wow! close to ten years have passed. It was with Earthwatch, which bankrolls needy researchers in a lot of fields by hooking them up with paying volunteers like me. I worked with Dr. Richard Harrison from Bristol University and his wife Gloria Moreno, also an archaeologist. We stayed in the Santuario de Nta. Sra. de la Misericordia and went up by LandRover(ancient one) to the dig. He was trying to prove that remote hamlets of Bronze Age people stuck to the remote areas in order to avoid being "organized" by people who wanted something larger than clan as government. I think the guy might have been something of an anarchist, who knows? We found a lot of beaker style pot sherds, lots of flints, but no real bronze that season. The stuff was on display in the museum in Soria including some few bronze pieces from the previous season.

Ya know the "three witches: shoulda, woulda and coulda"? Well, during that experience I realized I shoulda used my Spanish to be an archaeologist: you can wear crummy clothes, visit neat places and write. It was a wonderful time, met a lot of interesting people.
