The core of being an archaeologist

Archaeology has caused me severe stress, insecure (even illegal) employments, and some life crisis now and then, and one can really wonder if it is all worth it.  However, when I think about all the fantastic people I have met through my work, studies and "archaeological" life, and all I have been learning from those encounters, I feel very grateful! Grateful for getting to know people with all kinds of views and ideas. Grateful for the chance to experience new cultures and contexts, and to discuss history and todays´ politics with, and learn from, someone who is actually living in Romania, Hungary, Latvia, the US, Russia, or wherever. It really helps if one wants to cultivate an open mind...  
 
The latest challenge will be to learn enough Catalan and Serbian, so I can read more than the English summaries in these 2 lovely books that was given to me last week, from my good friends Lucila and Vladimir. Thank you so much for being so caring and bringing me a copy of your latest work. 😊
