I have been on the fringes of archaeology for years without really understanding why, but now with age, these things begin to become clearer and reveal why an early interest has become a lifetime of exploration. Marks created by man or animal that appear, or reappear when conditions alter are a part of the larger landscape that are entrenched in my subconscious. Observing the natural cycles has become an important element of how I see and react to changes and they continue to challenge how I can record and interpret them.
