Leaving Las Vegas, er, I mean: New Jersey. I, for one, moved out of New Jersey for purely practical reasons; my move to Philadelphia has allowed me to get rid of my car and streamline my life. I am now able to walk to work, all of my entertainment, significant other, etc... I certainly don't...

I always try to carve terrifyingly spooky faces on my pumpkins, but they end up adorable, like the sort of pumpkin you would want to hug. It's exactly the opposite of awesome.

My best wishes to your family, Scott. And, I certainly miss the peace of mind that a quiet walk through the Pines has given me throughout my life. Alas, I have become a city dweller, and now must seek my solace in subway cars.

That is very sad news, indeed.

Cannon and cannonballs were cast from bog iron; and bog iron, due to the impurities and structural irregularities inherent in the limonite, was in fact, of a lesser quality than iron ore sourced from Pennsylvia and refined with anthracite coal...

Who could possibly resist an awesome tee-shirt? "Not I," says Ariadne.

Interesting! I barely see him but for our annual Christmas/Holiday-for-the-politically-correct party, as I work in New Jersey and he works in Philadelphia. But by my estimates, he's a good egg. Perhaps we'll cross paths at the opera this season, as I often attend.

Aw, you kidder! You totally got me! You must be the one that keeps calling me at home, asking if my refridgerator is running. :v:

The company for which I work is named Kise, Straw & Kolodner. It's not a particularly nifty name, I'll grant you, but no one ever calls it that. We say "KSK," which is a lot easier to say, and takes up less space on our tee-shirts. Nonetheless, if you were to look us up, on say the internet...

There are distinct differences between furnace and forge slag, and further, there are distinct differences between the slag from hot-blast furnaces and the slag from cold-blast furnaces. There's a large literature on the subject, and if you're really interested in researching it further, I'd...

Ben, You have proved yourself to be a gentleman and a scholar. :v:

Wow, you are famous! But not as infamous as I am. :)

Iron Hill is associated with sites from the Paleoindian Period (13,000-7,900 BCE) through historic times; the units on Sunday produced debitage which is generally undatable, but assuredly prehistoric. Perhaps you can make it next time!

Sunday was the Iron Hill Archaeology Festival, which was one of the many scheduled events of Delaware’s Archaeology Month. I was pleased to see so many people turn out, and was impressed with the planning and organization of the festival. Besides three excavation units that were opened for the...

I'm not impartial of course, but I enjoyed the courses in both undergraduate and graduate school. Then again, I think the theory is interesting too, so I'm not a good barometer I guess.

After careful consideration, and some reflection time, I decided to remove my previous posts from this thread. The reason, in its essence, has nothing to with this particular website, but rather centers on the fact that I am often "googled" by clients and co-workers. My fear was that, in...

This Sunday, May 21st, colleagues and I will be doing a public archaeology excavation at Iron Hill in DE. Volunteers will have the opportunity to excavate along with professionals. Iron Hill is just over the Delaware Memorial bridge, approximately 45 minutes from the Camden, NJ area...

Hmm. I'm not sure about that particular land acquisition, but one of my very close friends is in Haines family and works at the bogs in Hog Wallow. And as far as *I* know (and that's not saying anything certain), they still focus on growing the berries in New Jersey, and supply primarily to...
