Yeah, I know, but I was livin the dream...kind of our joke, but I know it's not all gonna be like that...:(

TehMac, I want to do Classical archaeology, but that is a super highly selective field, so I'm looking more and more into Latin American. Great field and still a ton of sites left.

And I love the women interested in this stuff. They're all really bright and great people. I had lots of fun hanging out with them...
incan, mayan, aztec?

In archaeology, Mayan is just plain sexy, mainly because of the "Mayan collapse". Aztec is cool, but I love South America, so I'm looking at Incan. My mentor at the moment did his docteral research at San Diego de Ariba, and it's a late Classical site, so after the Mayan but before the Aztec. I really like the intermediate periods...
