I'm back up in Shasta with two wonderful assistants from UC Berkeley (Kelly (left) and Lauren). We have been busy excavating and sieving. I am past the 1/2 m mark in the pit and may have just hit the floor. There is a very large rock ~20 cm wide that spans the pit, though there is still sediment on either side of the rock. So, we'll see how much farther I can go down! On the sieving front, Lauren and Kelly found some interesting things yesterday- a large deer tooth, something that looks like a worm cast, a carnivore canine, and a completely unknown piece of bone/tooth. So, things are getting busy up here!
It poured down rain last night, but we were nice and dry in the cabin. Today, we're in Redding resupplying our groceries and checking our e-mail. More soon!

Hey
Oops... posted that last one too soon.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you again for such a wonderful opportunity. I had a great time, learned some new stuff and had an all around good start to the field season.
So thank you!! Keep in touch and best of luck with the rest of the summer!
-Kelly
