The PKAP12 Field Team

Our awesome team of trench supervisors and excavators actually caused my co-director (David Pettegrew) and I to feel bored and superfluous at times. The excavators hailed from Messiah College and our three trench supervisors from Boston University, Ohio State, and North Dakota State.

The field teams dug efficiently and carefully and recorded their trenches consistently over the course of some long, and, frankly, frantic days. The firing schedule at the base They showed good humor throughout and put up with my challenging management style. They laughed at my jokes. To preserve their anonymity (and the objective impartiality of archaeological science), I made special effort to assign them randomized names. This will ensure that our results are as unbiased as possible.
