Day 9

On day 9 we had our last Archaic skills day, evolution - moving right along - and it rained yet again.

I decided to make a quiver ( arrow holder) out of cat tales. My quiver worked out well, I was not able to finish the entire thing as it is bigger (wider and taller) than the average woven basket.  

As the rain lasted a large portion of the day we all had a lot of time to talk and socialize as we were doing our specific tasks.

Have I mentioned the kitchen staff provides us excellent food which is not only tasty but also has a lot of variety - thank you.

Day 10

Today we worked on site again and we finished shovel shining two and started trowling which was of extreme excitement to everyone.

In the evening we were privileged enough to have a lecture given by  Dr. John Steckley. Dr John Steckley is a world expert in the Wendat  Language. His talk was absolutely brilliant and inspiring to all. He discussed the Wendat language and showed us how archaeologists and everyone can learn from it.

Cheers
