August 17, 2009 – August 18, 2009
Monday and Tuesday of this week we were still at the INC washing and inventorying more bones. We were supposed to return to the home-lab on Monday, but there were more burials that we had to get through at the INC first.
August 19, 2009
Today we were back at the home-lab. I’m not going to lie, it was nice not having to wash bones for 8 hours a day. After awhile, my back would start to ache from bending over all day.
The goal for the rest of the time in Peru is to finish analyzing the Chokepukio burials. We have about 35 more to do…and it takes awhile to get through each one… we’re going to have to work rapidly.
Today I also tried my hand at cranial reconstruction. The picture associated with this blog is the result of my hour of labor. It's much harder than it looks.
