Luxury and Fieldwork

Luxury and fieldwork...these are two words not often used together, at least not in my experience of some 30-odd years in archaeology. But, during the ASM field session (May 22-June 1), I'll warm up a bit of soup in a microwave donated by Pat Stagg (thank you Pat), and after work I'll treat myself to a cold diet root beer that will have been chilling all day in the refrigerator donated by Tom Forhan.

There will be all sorts of furnishings for the field office and crew bunk house, courtesy of Pete and the Quantock clan, along with a computer donated by Tom, a printer from the Quantocks, and a desk from Scott.

Field session hasn't even started and I'm already feeling spoiled.
