Ive been in St. Petersburg, Florida since Thursday. I gave a public talk Thursday night, and since then Ive been at the AWIARE (Alliance for Weedon Island Archaeological Research and Education) station, where Ive been analyzing some excavated pottery. Im on the AWIARE Advisory Board. The station has a nice laboratory and very comfortable living space in a converted house. The nicest thing is that it is in the Weedon Island Preserve, a county-owned preserve along Tampa Bay, which also preserves the famous Weeden Island archaeological site (the early archaeologists misspelled it, and its too ingrained in the literature to change). Each night, Ive been serenaded by whip-poor-wills calling from two different directions. Hadnt heard one in years, and that along with the full moon made for a wonderful setting. Also lots of gopher tortoises trundling around as well.
