It is hard to believe that the calendar has waded well into October! It’s been a real BEAR of a semester up here in Toronto thus far, with real in person meetings and classes reminding us how much extra time it takes outta the day to get dressed in real clothes and walk somewhere; not a grand pile of zoom events and conferences rivalling our Praso tile piles in size!
Amidst the chaos we’ve managed to at least send off our report for the 2021 BEARS season for peer review, which is a nice way to mark the start of proper fall. To mark the occasion, here are some fun stats from the 2021 season for all you numbers fans and accountants out there.
On the island of Praso we surveyed 107 grid squares with the following results:
3,524 sherds, 266 lithics, and 320 ‘others’ collected
23,831 tiles counted & weighed!
(of which 26, representing 4 fabrics, were collected)
On Koroni and parts nearby we surveyed 57 units and encountered at least 23,831 hostile bushes and plants, collecting none.
Not bad for a season that almost wasn’t! Stay tuned for more winter updates, stray thoughts, and events as the dark season approaches.
