Contact
lenses are not recommended in the field, but since seeing
is a crucial part of excavation, in the event that you do
decide to wear them (hopefully you'll have disposables and
therefore, extras!), be sure to bring along some Hypo-Tears
or other eye drop solution. Your eyes will thank you…

"Dear
Journal"
 I've
been madly anticipating my return to Israel since the day
I left last year. And the year before that, the time between
the final day of digging and the opening of a new season seemed
interminable. So it is that I find myself in the final stretch
toward the favorite part of my year. This will be my third
season of digging in Israel. I embarked on the first adventure
after taking Archaeometrics with Dr. Schneider at Pomona College.
She did a great job pitching the dig in class, but it far
surpassed all of my expectations. I had never before believed
it possible to be involved in something of real scholarly
import and achieve a great tan at the same time.

Geography
101
Since it is highly likely that most of you readers are new
to archaeology, not to mention the archaeoloy of "Syro-Palestine"
(a.k.a. Israel), I thought you might appreciate a little more
definition of some frequently used terms, especially those
that pertain to geographic delineations within the region.
Previous scholarly efforts in this area were heavily dependent
upon a desire to prove or negate the Biblical narratives.
Today, such actions are extremely frowned upon and this change
in scholarly consensus resulted in the creation of new terminology
or field jargon.
