I've been very lucky in archaeology within the last couple of years. I have returned to Barkley Sound three times to participate in full scale excavations.
In August of last summer I was asked to assist in cave archaeology up on the north end of the island. This experience was quite different than midden excavation. Instead of taking a boat to the site we would crawl on our stomachs through passages to reach our unit. Some caves were mapped at 1o kms! We certainly did not go that far. I was very impressed with the concern taken to preserve the fragile environment in those dark caves.
