Night Time
 By the time pottery processing and cleaning is finished we usually have about an hour and half until it is time for more chicken and rice. It is 7:00 pm,
suppertime, I watch as everyone slowly comes in from pouring
over their field notebooks or a short nap. It is evident that
spirits are high but bodies are sore from the long day of
work. Supper is done, everyone is winding down to continue
paperwork, prepare for the next days work, and attempt to get
a good nights rest.
I absolutely loved every minute of my time in Jordan while digging with Karak Resources Project. I have been extremely blessed by being allowed this amazing opportunity, and I appreciate the people in charge for allowing me to go. The reason I wanted to go on this dig was to learn more about archaeology. Little did I know that I was going to come home knowing: a little Arabic, the area in and around Jordan, understanding the people and
their culture from my own experience and not from secondhand
images in the media. Most important, I learned the many
aspects involved in making an archaeological dig efficient and
successful. I pray that the Lord allows me another opportunity
to visit Jordan, see my friends and to make new ones.
The archaeological work was very hard and tiring but well
worth it. I would go back on another dig in a heartbeat and
would encourage anyone interested in an archaeological dig to
participate. |
