Of course, every June my thoughts nowadays turn to archeology, and the annual summer dig hosted by the Arkansas Archeological Society and Arkansas Archeological Survey.  The summer dig is the combination of a training program, large-scale excavation, and two-week block of fellowship, all rolled up into a bug- and poison ivy-wrapped package.  This year's program was a continuation of a dig in a prehistoric site in central Arkansas.  I left during the week (Hope and the kids remained behind) to set up camp and begin digging.  On the first day, things looked pretty good, as I found a dart point chipped out of a stone called novaculite even before the formal excavation commenced: I have written about this stone known as novaculite before--it has been the focus of a number of the prehistoric excavations we've worked on in Arkansas over the years.  Here's a good website, for those of you interested in more on novaculite: http://arkarcheology.uark.edu/novaculite/i...
