On the seventh day - we did not rest, in fact we started living like it was the Archaic period all over again, so much for evolution.
Today Aldo led the archaic skills project where we chose an archaic skill that we wanted to learn. I choose to make an Atlatl and dart- which is a spear thrower. Other choices were to make a fire bow, basketry, twine or rope making, food and medicine and a fish trap.
My Atlatl worked well except for the fact that I ended it's life as I broke the spear point each time I threw it. Apparently the kitchen is feeding us to well.
Aldo has an exceptional gift for teaching this topic as do all the other staff in their fields of expertise it is truly enjoyable learning from them.
Day 8
Once again we are back at site and moving more dirt, although today we started shovel shining two however it was interupted by the heavy down pour. The down pour sent us back into the building to clean artifacts and left group B in the rain to complete their second day of Archaic skills.  We are all grateful for porches.

Cheers
