I pass by Miguel's house yesterday afternoon on my return to the hotel, and talk with him a little. He send you "un saludo y un abrazo" and hope to see you sometime in the future if he is still alive. I invited him to see the excavations and he will pass by.
Thanks again for inviting me to join this site.
Este site esta bueno, gracias por añadirme. Ya estoy en el grupo de Arqueología del Circum-Caribe y esta super interesante. Hablamos later de esto---Patria*
Yes, Nate told me you are on your way down there. It sounds like you must have found some real funding (or won the lottery). I am hoping to get down for a brief visit this spring/summer, just to see the backfilling in progress.
Please late Nate or Hernan know if there is something they might be able to help with, logistics-wise. I am hopeful that we will soon have our last batch of artifacts, and I can start sharing some radiocarbon results.
Good luck.
A very warm welcome,
Max.
