Archaeologist at work, June 1977.

In the 1970s I had a series of short-term jobs as an assistant at
archaeological digs. At Postville, on the coast of Labrador, I worked
for four or five weeks in May and June 1977 with Stephen Loring, then
associated with the Smithsonian Institution. Here Stephen was getting
ready to fire off some shots on the overhead camera we'd rigged up
with three or four "longers" -- skinny tree trunks tied together at
the top.

I can't remember the name of the camera I was using then, but it was a
German non-slr. Its viewfinder was faulty and I had a lot of
difficulty framing pictures without cutting off the tops and losing
level. On that trip I didn't know the vfr was awry, and this was one
of the best shots I took that trip.

I also can't remember what kind of film it was other than being an E6
slide film. It was probably a Fuji film because the colour strikes me
as bluey, like Fuji of that time).

I scanned the set of 32 slides tonights because a friend showed me a
group shot of the pit crew and a dozen or more children who hung
around the site everyday. I will post later one of the shots I took
of children.
