Koonwarra dig in 2015?

Preliminary planning has begun for the 2015 Field Season. It is looking more and more likely that we will be digging at the road cutting near Koonwarra. It might even be a really long (8 week) dig. Those of you volunteering us at Eric the Red West will be able to ask Tom Rich and David Pickering from Museum Victoria all about it and how you can get involved.

Preparation for the dig

A reminder to all new and returning volunteers to send their paperwork (2 forms) back to Dave and Lisa this week.  The Monash University field guidelines have changed a little this year, which means that we can no longer collect that information when you arrive.  See you there!
