Picture This! 10 years of Fairfield in pictures.

 

 

Test Units at Fairfield, 2010.

It’s hard to believe, but we’ve been around for over a decade now…and we have the photos to prove it. From our first day in November of 2000, we decided to invest exclusively in this new fangled “digital photography.” Today, we have more than 5200 JPEGs, TIFFs, and BMPs documenting everything from Test Unit 1 to the most recent dig day (last Saturday) with the National Institute for American History and Democracy (NIAHD). For your viewing pleasure, we have assembled the cream of the crop – the 292 best images from the last 3882 (give or take) days of Fairfield fun! We’ve put them all on our new and developing Shutterfly account (thanks, Jesse!) so go check it out at:

Click on the link to set up an account and we’ll open your eyes to a world of discovery that illustrates just how exciting the past can be, especially when you’re looking at it through the eyes of an archaeologist. Enjoy!  And keep an eye out for younger versions of Dave and Thane.
