Hey, what's that tool down there? It's not a home decor color chart (unless you're decorating your living room in warm earth tones). It's a Munsell Soil Color Chart! Archeologists use this chart to evaluate the soil #FavoriteArchaeologyTool #IAD2020

Being the first person to touch an object that someone made hundreds, or thousands of years before, is a pretty special feeling. I think that's one of the biggest honors of being an archaeologist!

#IAD2021 Archaeology has the potential to be more than just nerding out on old stuff (which is mostly what we do)... The knowledge that studying old things and past people gives us has the ability to inform out future! #Archaeologist
