Western Argolid Regional Puppies
July 7, 2014 § Leave a comment
Every archaeological project experiences a crisis at some point. Fortunately, the Western Argolid Regional Project managed to avoid all serious crises until the very last week of intensive field work.
Over the last week or so a dog and her puppies has been hanging out at the church of Ay. Eleni and Konstantinos in our survey area. Apparently they were left in the care of the saints at some point in the last few weeks. A local woman was feeding the dogs and we provided them with some food and water. On the whole, it was not a very good situation, but one that was stable.
One of the puppies grew up and "went off to college," but the other puppy seemed to be doing fairly well. This weekend, the mother decided that she had done her best and left to try her luck elsewhere leaving the puppy alone.
When we understood the situation, Dimitri Nakassis and I immediately panicked. We then called Sarah James. And I then called my wife. All the while Machal Gradoz was bonding with the puppy and decided to take it back to adopt it on the spot. We made a quick run to the vet in Argos and got some puppy supplies and puppy formula and the crisis has been averted.
The puppy's name is Eleni after the saint who looked after her for the first few weeks of her life.
So for today, we are the Western Argolid Regional Puppy (project).

Now, I'm almost entirely sure that there is only one more week of full on field work. This past week was cooler and slightly less exhausting, but we still have two weeks to go before we wrap up the first season of the Western Argolid Regional Project.
This morning, I did some field walking for the first time this year. As we filled in a few units that the survey teams missed, Dimitri Nakassis and Stephanie Steinke check the GPS unit to make sure that we are in the right spot.
The sheep are out in the field first thing in the morning:
The day before I hiked up to the rock shelter fort for the last time this season to fill in a few points on our plans and finish one drawing. It was a cool opportunity to think about how archaeological field work shapes how we hold our bodies.
I continue to document the things Greeks hang from trees:
I've also been drawn to other agricultural equipment in the field. For example, I liked how these irrigation heads looked in a klouva and the alternative:
Sunrise over the survey area.
And some high-tension electrical wires:

Pallets and Scavenging
July 3, 2014 § Leave a comment
Archaeologists are scavengers. We collect objects that have been cast aside and reuse them as sources for reconstructing the past.
As a result archaeologists are pretty good at finding inventive ways to reuse whatever is at hand to serve their purposes. As part of my Pallet Project, my buddy Chris Cloke sent along some pallet pictures from Alex Knodell's new Mazi Project in Attica, Greece. To pinch some pennies, the project acquired shipping pallets which after some cleaning and basic maintenance became project beds.
Bees and Marginal Landscapes in the Western Argolid
July 2, 2014 § Leave a comment
Bees! I hate bees. I'm partially convinced by the position of the environmentalist lobby that bees somehow contribute to the good of all humanity. That being said, we should recognize that pollination but like global warming, evolution, and gravity, is a THEORY meaning that it may or may not be true. Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, and all that.
At the same time, I've become interested in the use of marginal landscapes in the Western Argolid for bee keeping, and keep my eye out for evidence of these practices on the Western Argolid Regional Project.
On Monday, we encountered a bee keeping complex on the northern slope of the Inachos valley above the village of Lyrkeia. There was evidence for long term olive cultivation and the neglected remains of broad terraces serve as reminders of grain cultivation.
Today, however, the olives are mostly neglected and the grain has gone wild, but bees continue to be kept and honey harvested. There were a few active hives near the compound (I didn't get too close!), but it looked like the area was mostly used for the preparation of hives with bee food, broken down hives, and various storage containers in evidence.
The compound was filled with empty bee hives, metal lined covers, and the metal racks where the honey comb develops. The wood on many of these abandoned hives is beginning to rot, but the metal frames and hinges will stay behind long after the wood disappears.
The Inachos river is another marginal landscape. It is seasonal and during the dry summer months, it serves as a road, dumping ground, and temporary apiary!
Further up on the slopes, discarded be hives litter an open field. The frames in some were intact, although the metal lined covers had been largely removed.
I suppose in a few years, when all the bees are gone, all we'll have left to show their impact on these marginal landscapes will be scraps of metal.

This week, I mapped some, drew some, and barely survived the rest of the time. I'm pretty sure that this is the last week of the season on the Western Argolid Regional Project.
I got some good photos of members of our field teams out working. Grace Erny is super photogenic in the field (although she'd deny it). She's always doing something archaeological:
One of the project directors, Dimitri Nakassis, is very proud of being a University of Michigan graduate and also very happy to finally be getting into the field on a consistent basis:
Phil Cook and I spent a long day drawing a an early modern fortified site:
I saw the usual array of scenic and curious things in the field.
Prof. Nakssis makes lots of phone calls from the field because he's the boss:
This is what a day that will approach 40 degrees looks like at the start:
This what about 38 in the field looks like:
On a hot day of mapping, we were caught off guard by a ZETOR in the wild (it's a Czech tractor company):
A magic bus:
More of things Greek farmers put in trees.
A hoop:
More bottles presumably of pesticide:
A bucket:
Coat and boots:
One last picture… the low clouds snagging on the peak and the dramatic difference of scale and focus gives the picture a tilt-shift look:

Archaeology of Sound
June 25, 2014 § Leave a comment
Every now and then when I'm in the field, I panic about falling behind in my journal reading and letting the ENTIRE DISCIPLINE PASS ME BY.
WHAT?? Archaeological Dialogues has an issue dedicated to ROMANIZATION? I thought about that once, like four years ago! I must… read… now!
WORLD ARCHAEOLOGY has forthcoming volume dedicated to the archaeology of sound? I know people working on that RIGHT NOW and how can I possibly interact with them without being familiar with soon-to-be-published articles. More than that, I'm an audiophile and I need to understand the archaeology of connectors. And I've done archaeology of the contemporary world (forthcoming) so I must understand what was albums were found on the floor of a commune where the Grateful Dead once live.
It's not that it has to happen eventually – like say while I'm on sabbatical – it has to happen now.
So instead of spending a weekend catching up on vital scholarship and remaining relevant to my discipline, I decided to clean up some audio file that I captured over the past few weeks in the field.
On my hike to the cave, I encounter a fairly agitated hawk and this what he (or she) sounded like:
We've also had the good fortune of encountering some very vocal goats:
And some excitable frogs (especially at night!):
Finally, you can faintly hear the bells of the church at Kaparelli at the western edge of our survey area:
A Bridge
June 25, 2014 § Leave a comment
This is mainly to start a blog post with the line that I want you use at the beginning of an important article:
"The study of Ottoman bridges in the Western Argolid remains in its infancy. The goal of this brief article is to bring attention to a small, but important body of Ottoman bridge work in this region."
This lovely arch spanned a small ravine and carried a switchback kalderimi road down a low saddle to the village of Lyrkeia and our survey area. The stone work is lovely consisting of local grey limestone faces with smaller stones used as chinking. The arch itself is made of thinner stones arranged carefully with a substantial quantity of pebbly white mortar.
The road that leads to this bridge runs on its own carefully wrought terrace through olive groves. The is evidence that the bedrock had been cut back to let the road pass more easily. The bedrock was close enough to the surface to allow it serve as paving for part of the route, and it probably made this particular field appealing for use as a road (and less than appealing for agriculture!).

Dish drying mats
Does anyone have any experience or recommendations to make regarding dish drying mats? Someone I know raves about hers. At the time I didn't take a super close look, but now that I've gone to the store what I'm seeing looks different than what I thought she had. (I would ask her, but it's not so easy at this point.)
All of the Amazon reviews seem quite positive. I guess I'm inclined to get one of the less expensive ones, just to try it out. I don't have such a big kitchen, so smaller may actually be better. But I suppose if "The Original" is hands-down the best, I could see springing for it.
One of my concerns is that these pads start to get smelly after a while. I recall reading a review somewhere about that being a problem. If that's true, I might skip getting a pad altogether!
Right now we have the standard Rubbermaid drain mat and foldable dish rack. They take up prime real estate in the kitchen, though, so if the mat truly works, that would be wonderful. We would just have to be prepared to live without the convenience of a dish rack, I guess.
We have the Norpro mat and were very happy to get rid of our SimpleHuman dishrack, which worked fine but took up too much space. We've used it for a month so far and have no complaints.
We have had dish drying mats for a couple of years, and we love them. We have one next to the kitchen sink, and one next to the sink in the butler's pantry where we put crystal glasses to dry. We love them, and we have never had a problem with them getting smelly. They hold an incredible amout of water, and we actually wring them out when we are having parties and washing a large number of pots and such. We will hang them from the handle of the stove when we want to dry them out, as we did during some very humid summer weather. We launder them every week when we do the dishtowels and such.
This is where we got ours, but they don't have the exact one we purchased on line. One is a steel grey and the other is a mossy green.
Wow, thank you all for the positive feedback! We will definitely order one now. One more question, if I may: if you put something really wet on the mat, is there the risk that it will run through the backside? In other words, would it be risky to put the mat on, say, a wood table while you wait for the dishes to dry?
re: uwsgrazer
You definitely wouldn't want to put this on a wooden table. The mat gets wet all the way through, but it holds the water so that it doesn't slop out.
re: roxlet
Okay, got it. Thanks, roxlet.
re: uwsgrazer
< if you put something really wet on the mat, is there the risk that it will run through the backside? >
It certainly has a finite capacity.
I don't know if the "Original" is hands-down the best. I have the Original, and it is good, but I have not tired the others. They could be better or worse. I just don't know.
For disclosure, I actually do not use mine for drying dishes -- a few time, but most of time, I used it as a cutting board support mat. So it does get to absorb a lot of water, blood and meat juice...etc. You can always put it in a dishwasher to wash it. I have not found mine to be particularly smelly. Hope this information help.
re: Chemicalkinetics
That's an interesting idea, to use the pad under a cutting board. I would never have thought of washing the pad in a dishwasher -- interesting. I just washed mine in the laundry this week, but let it "air dry". I guess I was reluctant to put it in the dryer. No idea if that makes sense.
Just to report back, I am pleased with the drying pad. It has definitely freed up counter space; it also forces one to be more disciplined about putting away dishes, not necessarily a bad thing. I will say, though, that I end up having to hand-dry stuff, just because stuff facing the mat tends to not to really get dry, I guess because of the lack of air circulation. Regardless, I am pleased with the purchase and appreciate everyone's input. SO is less keen, though is dealing with things well enough.
re: uwsgrazer
<I would never have thought of washing the pad in a dishwasher.... I was reluctant to put it in the dryer>
I just wash and dry mine along with other kitchen stuffs, like my kitchen towels...etc.
<I am pleased with the drying pad.>
Good to hear. Did you get the "original" brand or another brand?
re: Chemicalkinetics
I got the "Norpro" (the larger size shown in the link below), which I guess doesn't count as "the Original". It cost a lot less and I guess the reasoning was that I would test out the general concept first (i.e., getting rid of drying rack, to free up counter space, etc.). I figured the pad would work well enough and it does. Not sure if the Original would work better. I mean, the Norpro doesn't get the dishes bone-dry so I don't know, does the Original?
By the way, ChemKin, did you mean to write "dishwasher" or "washer" in your post above? I know you referenced dishwasher twice, I think, but I still can't imagine putting my drying pad in the dishwasher!
re: uwsgrazer
Thanks so much. Yes, I do mean the regular washer, not dishwasher. I put my kitchen towels and dish drying mat in the regular washer (clothing).
re: Chemicalkinetics
<You can always put it in a dishwasher to wash it>
I meant to say a laundry washer, not a dishwasher. Although, it probably works in a dishwasher too. I don't know.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Thanks for clarifying, Chemkin! :)
re: uwsgrazer
No, thank you for giving me the opportunity to correct myself -- otherwise I would never know.
You & the other Hounds have piqued my curiosity about drying pads. I checked at Marshall's and found a huge selection that were priced at $3.99 for all makers. The most expensive one I saw in their selection was $4.99.
We get 2 of what ever is cheapest at bed bath and beyond every fall when the (insert expletives) mice pay my kitchen a visit and shite all over. I wash them a couple times a year with the regular kitchen towels, but mouse droppings equal spending another 10 bucks to be happy again.
I bought a microfiber dish drying mat (approx. 16" x 21", by HD Designs) at Ralph's (So. Cal.) a month or so ago and liked it so much that I went and bought another one. One is red and the other yellow, with embossed flowers on both sides. They have thin sponge in the middle and really soak up the water well. Unless you really put a lot of water on them, they don't even look like they are wet.
Some of my friends bought them on my recommendation, and now I want a couple more, especially if I could find them in other colors (preferably solid color on both sides, like these). But yesterday I went to look in Ralph's and there was no sign they had ever been there--no label on the shelf, or anything. Groan. That is why I am looking around on the Internet now. I never want to be without one of these again.
As to the "stink" issue: If you let things sit around damp for days, they are going to get mold and other organisms in them and they are bound to stink. That happened with the towels we used to use as dish mats before I found these. The solution is either to remove the dishes at night and hang the mat up or drape it over something so it can dry (that is what I do), or else wash it more often. The label says to wash often in liquid detergent and dry in the dryer, but I want them to last, so I hang them up to dry.
I looked at the ones on Amazon and was not too impressed. Guess I'll have to continue to try to find the HD Designs site, which (hopefully) would be selling them, or else beg Ralph's to stock them again. These are even something I would buy to give as a present, and if my memory serves me right, they were only around $5--on the shelves with all the colorful plastic dishes for summer.

While people in Japan don't send Christmas cards to each other, it's customary to send New Year's cards to relatives, friends, and work associates. Called nengajo, these are delivered on New Year's Day, and typically feature whatever the Chinese zodiac animal for the year is.
However, since the end of the year is a busy time for most people, it's not hard to imagine that some of the artists, distributors, and even buyers of these cards are too busy to really stop and scrutinize them, which is how one nengajo ended up with a very unusual ram on it.
