Aerial photography. Very early yesterday my co-worker Henry flew over in a helicopter above the site while I posed in pictures for scale. Aerial photographs are useful because they show the relationship of different features, in this case pithouses, to each other. Plus, they are interesting to look at. Click the pictures to make them bigger!
I'm sitting in the center of some Early Ceramic period (A.D. 50-500) pithouses, with the earlier Early Agricultural period pithouse (the round one) nearby.
Although getting out at the site at 6:30 AM was a drag (I went to bed at 1 AM), I was actually able to finish some forms while I was waiting for the helicopter to show up. Then I did my best Vanna White Archaeologist impressions.
I'm sitting in a Hohokam pithouse dating to about AD 1150-1300.
