Collecting measurements in Andahuaylas, Peru.

About ArchaeoDirt:
ArchaeoDirt is for the early career archaeologist and the interested public. As a young archaeologist, I've had to learn a lot the hard way. From picking a field school to outfitting myself with the proper gear, I have experienced a lot of trial and error. I'm here to save you some of that same trial and error. Here at ArchaeoDirt, I hope to share the bits of wisdom I've accumulated in order to increase understanding of what archaeology is and why it matters among both future archaeologists and the general public.
