Ulm

You are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here. So...

I spent the weekend after the one in Tübingen in Ulm with Victoria - the creepy guy at the internet cafe hit on us. But we´re back here now ´cause the cool one that we found has closed down. But we´ve got Steven (an American) here with us to protect us.

There are 2 other girls in our group, but they´re currently wandering around in Blaubeuren - we´re all coming back to Ulm tomorrow ´cause there´s some big thing with fireworks. It has a name, but I keep forgetting - and it´s because Monday is Oath Monday, which commemorates something ... it´s all in the book, which I won´t see again until Monday night ... but we´ll be watching fireworks over the Danube tomorrow night :-D

In other news, Victoria found part of an ivory figurine and I found enormous cave bear bones, while excavating in Hohle Fels. Steven found an ivory pendant while schlämming today and Larissa (a Mexican studying in the Netherlands) found an ivory pendant while sorting. The stuff we´re schlämming and sorting from Vogelherd isn´t nearly as interesting, but it´s just backdirt, so we can´t expect that much (or, with a different point of view, we can, but that´s just treasure hunting... long story with much ranting that I won´t go into here {angry}).
Nicole hasn´t been having much luck in finding things - but she´s only in second year and her first excavation (the four weeks before she came here) was spent in Jordan.

In other news, I leave Germany next weekend and arrive home on the Monday. So I will be around again. Although, I have two weeks of isotope lab work to do and loads of work to do, so I won´t be around so much as hiding in my ivory tower, working myself to death.

That´s about everything that I have to say.... For now.
