Hey everyone. This is my first post on any sorta blog, so welcome aboard! What a strange trip it's gonna be. I'm leaving Easter Sunday for the frigid north of England to dig at a Roman fort and settlement site near Hadrian's Wall. The dig site is Vindolanda, "white field", and was occupied by the Roman army and assorted peoples (the Roman Empire and local British) from around 80 AD to well into the 4th century AD. The digging is split into two teams that will be excavating in the settlement outside of the remains of the later stone fort. I'll be digging with both teams starting April 9 through June 16, 2007. Two websites worth a visit are the official Vindolanda Trust site at http://www.vindolanda.com/ and an unofficial site that has the Trust's blessing at http://www.wedigvindolanda.com/.

Just five more days and you’re off! Yay! Matt, I am so excited you are going to go dig in England - and that you will be able to update this blog where all our friends and family can keep track of your trip.
I'll be holding down the home "fort" and 'Zael and I will keep in touch and comment on the blog, too!
PS: Only 68 days until I join you in Haltwhistle!
Matt,
I contacted my extended network of British contacts and told them to treat you with the usual disdain accorded to American visitors to England. Also, do not provoke any of the surveillance cameras. Some now have the capacity to talk back to you!
Take care,
Stuart
I'm pretty sure that this is not how Indiana Jones began *his* career, but I guess its better than nothing.
The Schweyers are looking forward to reading of your daring exploits, be sure not to leave out any details of insidious traps avoided or furious natives appeased (based on Stuart's comment, this may become an issue for you).
By the time you read this comment, you will be on foreign soil! Be wary, be alert!
