On Saturday the HARPees head back to the field, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Our first excavation season for 2022 begins on Saturday. A group of 12 trek north, trowels in hand, to continue work at Little Muck Shelter. Our goals are to continue excavating in our internal trench (top-centre in the accompanying image) as well as in two areas outside; one of which appears to be a midden. If all goes well, we should complete some ongoing squares inside the shelter, be able to establish whether or not we have a midden in the open, and further explore an area near to the koppie edge that we opened in October but could not complete. We will still be excavating Little Muck in the June-July trip so whatever we do not complete will be backfilled carefully – using sandbags – and covered until our return.

We look forward to sharing our work with you, so please follow us on Instagram or join our WhatsApp community. If you have any ideas about our #badalbumcover team photo, let us know (for reference, here is last year’s).
