The Pose that Refreshes? Pasar na?

Once in a while, after making an important find, students take time off from serious, tedious and backbreaking work to pose for posterity. Here Jojo Bersales poses with his students who made the first important find of the field school (see previous posts for more details about this find).

The "suerte" excavators, from left: Abigail Reroma, Dessa Perino, Candice Theresa Canete, Farah Marata. Melvin Lambohon, Yoyong Suarez and Jojo Bersales.



At the same time, other students toil on the recently-exposed old floors of the demolished high school building.

Meanwhile, Joe Santiago entertains guests by explaining the finds from our Boljoon Excavations, prominently posted on the bamboo fence of the church beach resort house...

The work of public archaeology: explaining our work to the curious.


...While Dr. Ame Garong entertains guests from the faraway southern town of Sibonga on a new unit she had just started to open (March 28, 2011).


More explanations especially on why we place broken pieces of pottery and shells on properly-labeled plastic bags.
