Today we have some images and stories from an excavation in the jungle near Santaréms university. Kjell, Patrik and Marcío Amaral undertook a smaller survey of the soil’s archaeological material, or rather potential. It was a very interesting experience, Marcío taught us much about the material in the area, and what’s poisonous or dangerous in the jungle. Turns out it’s everything. A few of the picture below show some of the animals we saw during the excavation and university.
We were also asked to hold a smaller talk about us and the project for the archaeological students at the university, which should be fun!
