I've been working on writing archaeological site descriptions in English. I have them already, of course, in Spanish, but my graduate students need them in English, and it's generally easier for me to re-write them in English than for them to translate the descriptions from the informe. Sometimes an additional detail will occur to me, and I've also discovered a a thing or two since I wrote the descriptions, such as the soil types from the soil atlas of Latin America.
In the course of writing the English descriptions, I've had to search through my files to find the maps and photos. In looking through the thousands of files, I've come upon some pretty photos that I thought I would share with you.
