Hi everyone,

I thought it might be fun to conduct a little experiment and "tweet" my summer and fall experiences working in southwestern Wyoming while doing Cultural Resource Management in the field of archaeology. This is more for the follower who is interested in the day to day (and sometimes mundane) activities. When I find something neat I will "tweet" it and also include a picture of the find.

 

You don't need to sign up for Twitter to follow me.

 

I encourage others to send their finds/pictures to me. Email me at www.macrofloral [at] msn.com with your pictures, or, if you have a Twitter account you can do it that way. 


At the bottom of this web page you will find a list of commonly used abbreviations I will be using throughout the field season. I probably won't start "tweeting" until the end of May.

 

Lastly, this Twitter page is not "my page." It belongs to all of us. I strongly encourage both professional and avocational archaeologists to "tweet" what you are doing and what you're finding.

 

Sincerely, Dan B.
