Friends and colleagues: Field archaeologists spend lots of their down time 
swapping stories and sharing laughs about events and circumstances on field 
projects.  We're happy to share some of these laughs with you in Shovel Bum 
Joins the Army, the latest video feature on our nonprofit streaming-media 
Web site, The Archaeology Channel (http://www.archaeologychannel.org).

The Shovel Bum saga moves into its third installment, produced by ALI's Guy 
Prouty and featuring Trent de Boer's drawings and real voice.  T-Bone and 
Betsy have forsaken Arkansas and moved to Washington.  T-Bone now runs 
survey crews on the US Army's Yakima Training Center.  Defying unexploded 
ordnance, flat tires, rattlesnakes, unfriendly MPs, suspicious Canadian 
soldiers, closed roads, and tank caravans, the crew finds some remarkable 
prehistoric sites and lost Army gear while enjoying the rugged landscape and 
winning bowling trophies.

This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment.  We 
urge you to support this public service by participating in our Membership 
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting 
(http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.shtml) programs.  Only with your 
help can we continue and enhance our nonprofit public-education and 
visitor-supported programming.  We also welcome new content partners as we 
reach out to the world community.

Please forward this message to others who may be interested.
