So here we are the final week of the dig. I have to post more about the dig site and what we've been working on these past couple of weeks but this post is strictly dedicated to my love of the Visby and it's Bustation. Two weekends out of my time here have been spent there in the wee hours of the morning....
Well this field school can be summed up in one word, incredible! We arrived to the Folk High School a week ago today and it was kind of rainy and cold until Tuesday, our official fist day digging.

I'm very nervous for the language barrier, initially I had been looking to dig...

This sale isn't for the feign of heart. There are women dressed in workout clothes power walking around the giant warehouse searching for their favorite Lilly prints. At...
Me at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England I'm an archaeology major, I like to play in the dirt and discover artifacts from past civilization but (PLOT TWIST) I'm also minoring in Media Writing which basically is like journalism and social media management rolled into one.
