    A Canadian osteologist carefully excavates an ancient burial. He carefully records the details and any artifacts included in the grave, which might help him discover how this person lived and died. Views[645] Sun rises early in the morning over the dig mound, and archaeologists get up early to beat the incredible heat of the Anatolian plain, and take a break in the afternoon before working in labs and cleaning artifacts. Views[372] Archaeologists rest in the evening, drink and share stories. On this rare night, a group of dervish dancers accompanies an ancient carpet seller out to visit the site, where they share dinner, perform, and peddle crafts. Views[302] A Norwegian archaeologist squints to scrape off only the top layer of plaster on this ancient mural. She has spent her entire career dreaming of excavating at Çatalhöyük, and is spending her vacation volunteering at the excavation. Views[377] Archaeologist work in portions of a partially-excavated clay house. Usually they work in socks or bare feet to avoid damaging artifacts and architectural features hidden just below the surface. Views[947]
