To follow up on the question, “what will you miss the most about being in Cyprus?” I will miss the excavation of Vigla. This has been my second field school and easily the most inspiring. Though I should mention both field schools were drastically different. Different in their time, landscape, and methods. The trench leads as well as the professors here were open to the student’s interpretations and ideas about what was going on in each unit. For the most part we could excavate our SU’s in our style. There was also so much opportunity to learn about the various methods. From taking GPS points, reading depths of special finds, performing Munsell tests, and filling in SU forms. After my time here I fill more confident in my archeology skills.
