Archeology Uncovered

Ku-wait. Arche-ology. Not many think they mix, but they do - sometimes overwhelmingly. I work at the National Museum in the Archeology Department. Here are my ongoings... [email me at ArcheologyUncovered [at] gmail [dot] com ]

Non-Math Numbers Can Be Fun!

Purple Elephant is screaming into the phone.
She's not angry,
she's just talking normally.
God, i hate her.
Omg.
lol.
I feel bad talking about her,
But she's driving me mad.
I want to yank her tonsils out.
Then display them.
In a case.
Here in the Museum.
So the others will know not to be as ....... there are no words.
god, i hate her.

Psh,
whatevs.



Pictures make me feel better.




This is the emblem of the Museum. I don't know why these images were chose, seeing as i havn't asked. But my understanding is that they're images from (yawn) Failaka. How cliche`d :p




Now, onto the numbering course.
We basically open up the boxes that we've already cleaned, put together, and sorted out. Then we spread their contents on the tables, and choose which ones we deem worthy.
The archeologists are supposed to do this, seeing as it's just me, some other dude, and another chick.
But whatever, they just want us to get on with it (although 7amid started to put the pieces he wanted us to number on the side, which is time-saving and ultimately the way it was supposed to have been done).


Anyways,

These are the tools we use. The clear nail polish is painted over a small surface that should be enough for me to write, in and ink pen, in a three letter sequence with a three number sequence (ie: KB4/147), which would forever etch the piece in Kuwaiti archeological history. Pretty cool, huh?







This is one of the pieces i found, and i realized it was a little bottle of Kohl. If you look closely at it, you can see the eye. It's cool (but alas, not number-worthy :p). The cotton buds are there if i make a mistake whilst writing. Which happened. On numerous occasions. Whoever trusted me with delicate materials and liquid ink should expect lots of mistakes. lol



This is the final product, little shards, pieces, pottery bits that have my handwriting on them. The coolness factor is immeasurable. Oh, and then the deal is sealed when Khalid follows me with another coat of nail polish.


And that's that :D


Until next time, compadres,
-me.
