Ode to Thee, Sweet Bucket Auger
http://archaeology.about.com/od/poetry/a/bucket_auger.htm
Archaeology sometimes requires digging deep holes in river valley sediments,
performed by archaeologists with a bucket auger, a screen and a pit partner.
After a while, the bucket auger is all you can think of, and so, one late
November day, with all the fondness and revulsion of the best kind, I wrote
this poem to my rickety bucket auger.
The Question of the Week is:
What kind of real-life career choices do I have with a degree in
archaeology?

Archeology v Archaeology
http://archaeology.about.com/b/a/222914.htm
I cracked open a can of worms (yum!) when I off-handedly wrote a piece on
whether people like to spell the name of our field. In response to a reader
comment, I put up a little poll. So far, archaeology has a substantial lead.
Vote early and often, and see how the majority rules in this deeply
scientific poll, with results certified by no one at all.
