Top left to right: ​Landscape along the Seahorse Gully Ridge site. Sand and broken seashells across the site reflect the environment when this area was an island. Today, it is one of the highest ridges on the Churchill west peninsula do to isostatic rebound. Kristin holding stone artifacts that are thousands of years old from one of the sites on the ridge.
 
Bottom left to right: A broken cutting tool made from quartzite and chert flakes from making another tool. Holding hands for reassurance during a foggy walk. Marking a successful walk across the bog. 

Have I mentioned that the hiking, shared experience, discovery, re-discovery even on these long days typically includes a lot of joking and laughing. 

Matt putting his years of experience to use holding the LIDAR scanner so it doesn't fall over in the wind. Kristen wondering if this sturgeon skeleton smells bad or not. The answer was YES. Donalee demonstrating that there was a depression in the ground - likely a location of a dwelling.
