Graves and Garbage: The Hard Life of an Archeologist

• Mz 12y ago
  “It’s tough, physical work, all day, every day,” one of the archeologists in Johnson’s book says. Turning her copy over, King pointed to the trowel on the back. “This is a riveted trowel, which we would never use. It should be a welded trowel, because the riveted trowel would break, and break quickly.” Some years ago, I had several archaeologists in my GIS classes. One of them told me he had a bum shoulder from digging all the time. He was in his twenties.
